A movement towards emancipation of a kind that is worthy of the race, in which heroism is unfolded, and here are displayed the generosity of those ideals with which a people are moved. An artist, a son of the people, has been able to describe with his brush his impressions and his feelings. Scenes of love, of hate, of union, of bloodshed, scenes of life and death; the flash of a rifle, the star-shell illuminating the field for liberty, in this tragic hour. The Offices of Propaganda of the National Confederation of Workers and the Anarchist Federation Iberian, in their fervent desire to show the world the epic moments of their Revolution, have undertaken the publication of these scenes from Spanish Revolution, a happening which has opened the doorway to a future of a greatness both spiritual and material".
