EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the somber atmosphere of Madrid's Josè Antonio Primo de Rivera Avenue during the 1950s under the rule of Francisco Franco's dictatorship. The avenue, named after the founder of the Falange Española political party, was a prominent symbol of the regime's authoritarian rule. In this image, we see a desolate square, with empty streets and few signs of life. The white buildings lining the avenue appear stark and imposing, their facades devoid of color or decoration. The absence of people and activity adds to the sense of stillness and control. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a period in Spanish history marked by political repression and social unrest. Despite the challenges faced by the European and Spanish communities during this time, the resilience and determination of the Madrilian people shines through, as they navigated the complexities of life under Franco's regime. This photograph, taken in the 1950s, offers a unique glimpse into the past and a testament to the enduring spirit of Madrid and its people.
