Museum of Montserrat - EN

Two-color postcard designed by Josep Costa "Picarol" with an ironic content about the movement of Solidaritat Catalana, constituted by heterogeneous elements that some wanted to agglutinate permanently and, on the other hand, others considered purely conjunctural.

The Museum of Montserrat shows in its permanent exhibition the original flag of the Unió Catalanista, designed by Alexandre de Riquer. These two postcards have as their main theme this flag carved in a guild shape, with a beautiful embroidered Saint George. Number 17 (1919) is designed by Maria Julivert and carries the portraits of the former president of the Ateneu Barcelonès, Àngel Guimerà, and the president of the Protective Association of the Catalan Teaching, Manuel Folguera.

The postcard (1906), printed in two inks, of a caricature character, of a Catalan with a barretina (Catalan red hat) exclaiming with all his strength: "¡Viva la Solidaritat!" (Long live Catalan Solidarity!)

Solidaritat Catalana claims the autonomy not only of Catalonia but also of the other regions of Spain who want it.

Postcard (c. 1920) designed by Maria Julivert Aulés and edited by Unió Catalanista. It tries to emphasize the continuity of the Mancomunitat with the portrait of both presidents, Enric Prat de la Riba and Josep Puig i Cadafalch, placed in front of the Gothic façade of the Palace of the Generalitat, in Barcelona.

Enric Prat de la Riba is another important personality of the history of emerging Catalonia. He had the ability to unite in a joint action the various Catalanist parties to form the Mancomunitat de Catalunya (1914), precedent of what will be the Republican Generalitat (Catalan Government).
