A Call from the Wall - Political Posters Through 100 Years
Temporary Exhibition: February 11 – May 28, 2012
“The poster is waging war from every other street corner in the industrial city", Social Democrat Julius Bomholt wrote in 1932. The war metaphor reflects the massive presence of political posters in the public or private sphere during the last 100 years. From walls and lampposts posters have served as weapons in the ongoing political and social struggles.
In 2009, with the collaboration of Spanish Ministry of Culture, we created an on-line catalogue to grant access to the digital collections of the F. Largo Caballero Foundation’s library. Initially it was possible to access the Digital Poster Collection from UGT and similar entities published between 1937 and 2009.
