Quien trabaja contra la unidad lucha en favor de Franco (Republican poster)
Poster in red, black and yellow with a close, distorted face seen through concentric target rings, the bullseye on the mouth, and the lettering 'Quien trabaja contra la unidad lucha en favor de Franco.' above '50 Aniversario de la U.G.T. de España'. The tell: the face is under a gunsight and the slogan offers only two positions, for unity or for Franco, so any dissent inside the Republican camp is classed as help to the enemy.
