A favourite of many people, this statue, on Clyde Street in Glasgow, is a memorial to the 2,100 British volunteers who fought for the Republican cause against Franco’s fascist forces in the Spanish Civil War between 1936 and 1939. Of these, 534 died, including 65 from Glasgow. The statue was created by Arthur Dooley and was erected in 1979. It features Dolores Ibarruri, known as La Pasionaria (the Passionflower), an activist renowned for her passionate speeches. The plinth for the statue (not shown in this photo) features Ibarruri’s slogan ‘It’d better to die on your feet than live on your knees’. This is one of only three statues of real, non-royal women in Glasgow, and the only non-Scottish one. Ibarruir was born in 1895 and died in 1989, some ten years after this statue was created.
The print itself is 7.25 inches by 9 inches (18.5 cm by 23cm), and it comes mounted in a white 1.5 inch (3.5 cm) mount with a total size of 10 inches by 12 inches (25.5 cm by 30.5cm).
