# Tercer censo nacional de la República Argentina, 1 June 1914 (allegorical census poster)

A seated woman with the Argentine arms, a light-blue flag, an anchor, a steamship, a locomotive and a field of sheep announces the third national census. The tell is the national allegory and the Centenary wording, which attach the state's prestige to what is an administrative count.
