# ¡Arriba España! (Falange poster drawing, about 1937)

Watercolour and ink design for a poster: a man in a blue shirt with a raised right arm leads a column of workers, farmers and a woman carrying a child, some holding a rifle, a hammer, a pick, a shovel and a club, beneath the slogan '¡Arriba España!' and the Falange yoke-and-arrows emblem. The tell: ordinary labourers and families are shown marching as one behind a single party sign, so joining looks like what 'the people' already do.
