EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the devastating aftermath of a bombardment by the Nationalist airforce and artillery in Madrid, November 1936. The once bustling avenue in the West of Madrid now lies torn and desolate, a stark reminder of the brutal Spanish Civil War that tore through the country.
The barricade made of cobbles and bricks on the right side of the photograph serves as a grim testament to the fierce fighting that took place in this city. As Republican-held Madrid endured a three-year siege by Nationalist forces, scenes like this became all too common for its residents.
The date stamped on this image - 1936 - is a chilling reminder of the violence and destruction that plagued Spain during this tumultuous time. Each cobblestone tells a story, each brick bears witness to the horrors of war.
As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, let us remember those who lived through these dark days and honor their resilience in the face of adversity. May we never forget the sacrifices made during this turbulent period in history.
