This poster is split into two sides for January and February 1939. On the left, a man with a rifle stands over a group of people, some kneeling, while a woman in a headscarf holds a child. The right side shows a man in a hat and another person in a dark room, with a cityscape outside a window. Both sides have bold text: *"Universidad Obrera de México"* and *"Por un México Nuevo."* The calendar boxes are filled in for those months, and small text at the bottom promotes newspapers like *"El Popular."* The images feel tense, like they’re showing struggle and hope at the same time. Look up lithography to see how this kind of print was made.
