Item

Front of postcard (recto). Image of two small groups of cartoon soldiers speaking to each other over a yellow and green patch of land. All of the soldiers wear green uniforms, except for one man that has a brown coat. The men carry rifles and swords. Two of the rifles have white flags attached to their ends.
Back of postcard (verso). Image of a page with text. Full text includes "Proclamación de la República Número 5 - Colección compuesta de 30 dibujos Mas fallaron desgraciadamente los cálculos tan óptimamente planteados. Cerca de Ayerbe les salieron al paso las tropas de Huesca, no en son de amistad como creían los sublevados, sinó encarándoles sus armas ofensivas e incluso disparando contra ellos, lo que obligó a enviar como a parlamentarios a los capitanes Sediles y García Hernández, los que, sin consideración al sagrado carácter de que iban revestidos, fueron maltratados y encerrados en lóbregos calabozos, e incluso fusilado este último."
