Regarding the armed conflict, the Popular Front published ten prints by the Galician artist Alfonso Rodríguez Castelao (1886-1950) between 1937 and 1938. The series of prints were also exhibited from October 24 to November 5, 1938, in the Delphie Studies room, off Fifth Avenue in New York.
An advertisement published on July 19, 1937, in the newspaper reported that when commemorating the first anniversary of the "Great Spanish Revolution, the Galicia Mártir [collection of stamps] was reproduced in installments, published by the Ministry of Propaganda of the Spanish Government." SHC printed eleven thousand copies of the bound collection to collect aid funds for the Spanish people. In the Popular Front, the approximately full-page prints were accompanied by a descriptive text by Castelao. With a dark line, the artist portrayed militiamen protecting the Republic and the freedom of the people, and pointed out the lack of rifles. Likewise, he drew Galician mothers mourning their dead.
