"Destruction - that is the term which best applies to Fascism. In this war for the independence of Spain, we are daily witnessing its proceedings and feeling its effects and we know that there are no limits to its savage intentions...Art-monuments full of history and tradition are for the invaders shrapnel. The documentary proofs we publish herewhith and which only form a small part of our tragic and immeasurable losses are far stronger evidence than anything we might say." - title leaf. An appeal for support from Spain as the bombs of the Italian and German armies laid waste to the lives and culture of the nation.

Some rubbing, tears and creases to folder; minor toning to plates, else fine.
