Estampas de la Revolucion Española 19 Julio de 1936 or Prints of the Spanish Revolution July 19, 1936 by Jose Luis Vila Rey (Sim). Published by Graphos Colectivizada, Barcelona, 1936. First Edition. Large format (10.5" x 13.5") spiral-bound wraps.  The book has 31 reproductions of watercolors depicting subject matter relating to the Spanish Civil War. The book has an introduction in three languages and each image has a tri-lingual caption, printed on the reverse of the previous page. A beautifully-produced report/commemoration of the fierce fighting that broke out in Barcellona two days after the Fascist uprising against the Second Spanish Republic, which initiated the Spanish Civil War. In this engagement the Fascist military was defeated by various people's militias of poorly-armed peasants and workers. This has 31 full color plates. The first page in the book seems to be the introduction in all three languages. So, I am not sure if this is considered the title page or if it is missing. But all 31 plates are present and quite stunning. Some wear on the front cover. See the images for yourself.
