MR 128Rare early 20th century AUCA on the history of the 1893 war in Morocco. M
Price: $500.00
Note: An Auca is a graphic format popular in Spain and especially in the region of Catalonia around Barcelona. The genre dates at least to the 17th century but was banned during the 18th century before experiencing a renewal during the 19th and later the 20th centuries as a uniquely Catalonian form of expression. It takes the form of a cartoon or a comic strip, typically with 48 blocks of image and text, although some may have less. An Auca is generally produced as a single sheet, but occasionally a booklet form is used. The captions tend to have some sort of consistent rhyme to assist with the flow and storytelling. Many times the term “auca” appears in the title, but another term, “aleluya,” is used, apparently interchangeably. Some sources indicate that the aleluya originated in Castile and originally included religious elements that were shed over time. Auca was a very popular form of anti-Nationalist propaganda during the Civil War.

MR 104AUCA titled “La Campana de Marruecos”, which was quite obviously created by an ardent supporter of the king who was in a minority of supporters of the war in Morocco. It states a number of things that are clear propaganda. For instance it states that the Moroccan sued for peace when in fact the opposite was true. It shows Spain as victorious in the war, which in fact was false. There is not a single negative word about either the king or the war. M AH EH
