Por um Portugal livre: paz, liberdade, abaixo a censura (For a free Portugal: peace, freedom, down with censorship)
Black-and-white linocut-style postcard (10.5 x 15 cm) of hand-lettered banners and two doves listing demands: unity, free trade unions, agrarian reform, education reform, peace, freedom, 'long live democracy', 'down with censorship' and 'down with fascism', under the line 'For a free Portugal'. The tell: a slogan list with no programme text, in the register of the posters it answers.
