Purpose: To show that Spain isn't any better under a republic. Spain is free, but there is a huge contrast between the rich and poor. There is poverty and times of economic hardship, which is a reflection of the world wide effects of the Great Depression.
Value: It is valuable because it illustrates that some individuals resented the second republic. Maybe they were thinking that times were better under the monarchy or even the dictatorship.
Limitations: Obviously I don't know the date or the place this cartoon was published, so that is a limitation of truly understanding what the artist is depicting.

Rural Town of Ezquioga

 "Long live the Virgin Mary! Death to the current regime! Long live the king
and the monarchy and Segura the Cardinal, the undefeated general
of our brotherhood!"
Origin: La Traca (Valencia), 29 August 1931
Purpose: Ezquioga is a small rural town in the Basque Country where the people are fighting against the republican ideas in the belief of saving the Catholic ways.
Value: The cartoon shows the people ready to defend their town, with a gun in hand and fists up in the air. The people are older, possibly suggesting that it was the older generation who were more conservative and pro-monarchy. Furthermore, the setting is clearly a very rural area, which correlates with the idea that the rural communities wanted to preserve the monarchy whilst the industrial cities were pro-republic.
Limitations: It is somewhat unclear whether the people are heading towards or away from the town and furthermore, this cartoon comes from Valencia, a city, where the view may be bias toward the depiction of this town and the Basque people.
Question: From what we've learned about the Basque people so far, why would they be pro-monarchy?

I love Spain!!!

This cartoon epitomizes how many, especially students studying abroad, view Spain. It also parallels the way Spain's internal situations have a history of being largely ignored by the outside world. Why is Spain's history of political turmoil and divisions glazed over by an international perception of one, beautiful Spain?
