[Comité provincial de Madrid del Partido Comunista de España ephemera collection], 1936-1939.

Collection of 39 different handbills, advertisements, and small broadsides issued by the Comité Provincial de Madrid del Partido Comunista de España, founded in 1921. Includes material issued by the Comisión de Agit-Prop and the Comisión Femenina. A few items are date-stamped with a printer's stamp of "Prensa Obrera". Many of the small items are addressed to "soldados" or "combatientes," and contain strongly worded calls to action against the "invasión extranjera." One handbill is illustrated with a portrait of Spanish Communist leader José "Pepe" Diaz, and another broadside with text by Diaz. Several broadsides honor the Soviet Union, others express support of groups such as the U.G.T.A broadside manifesto of the Comité Provincial de Madrid explains the purpose of the organization. A handbill announces a conference to include discussion of the "trabajo de la mujer" or the role of women. Also included is a small illustrated circular announcing talks by "Pasionaria" (Ibárruri, Dolores) and Jesus Hernandez and a "boletin de inscripción" or application form to join the Communist party.
