Barcelona & Catalonia Cinderellas

Just to compare, I'll show again the said cinderella. You'll see the date change:

Two panes of cinderellas issued in 1933 by the Turistic Board of the Catalonia Hotel and alike Association(corrected with the help of Melic).















Photographic views of the city taken from the Mas Archive

Barcelona, June 1936 car races, just weeks before the civil war broke:

With reference to the drawings on panoramic views of Barcelona, I know two sheets each of 25 vignettes in this series and there are two colors (brown and gray-green). Around, carry an inscription that reads "For patriotism make these circular seals" and "stamps released by the committee of the Association of Hoteliers and similar Catalonia - Originals Archive Mas." We are sure that in 1929? I had understood that they were in 1933 but I have no proof. I would like to be sure of the date and would appreciate some confirmation.

Well, if anyone thinks I post interesting entire sheet in brown, for example.

I congratulate Cursus for his latest contribution to the Penya Rhin 1936. It's the first time I see it. It is beautiful.

Thank you very much for your congratulations. I just found this 1936 cinderella. As for the 1929/1933 photographic ones, it would be interesting to the whole sheet that you own. In my view, if the text is written in Spanish it's more likely that the cinderellas were issued in 1929, under General Primo de Rivera dictatorship; while if it's in Catalan, 1933 it's a very likely date.

They are in catalan language, maybe you can see it as follow:

So, for me it's clear that they were issued in 1933 (as between 1931 and 1939, our language was not banned, as it was before and after these dates), as the text is in Catalan. I've already corrected my previous post. Thank you.

From the same sheet of cinderellas,on a Maxicard with a Spanish Republic stamp.....

Cursus published a sheet with 20 vignettes in Barcelona a few days ago, the series as I show one image below. I have them and that makes me think they are all in the series. But I like to comment about the date I bought part of an archive, old, and there was this series with a handwritten note "issued by the "Sociedad Atracción de Forasteros" (Society attractions Strangers?") Barcelona 1932", company which wasI founded in 1908 to promote tourism Barcelona and Catalonia.

We are close on September 11 and one of the vignettes that I would like to share is one of the Feast of the Catalan Unit 1916:

Very nice, it shows Barcelona Gaudi's Park Güell main stairs, with the dragon fountain and "the Hundred Columns Hall" (actually, eighty!) on the top.
See how it looked seventeen years later:

Tomorrow, September 11th, is Catalonia's National Day and we'll holding a big human chain strectching our country North to South for 250 miles. We call it "Catalan Way to Freedom", very much like 1989 Baltic Way. We aim for Catalonia's independence.

As I'll be quite busy working for the event, I'm showing two cinderellas related to this data.

The first one, issued by the National Catalan Council arround 1977 and the second one belongs to Catalonia Album (1933).
Both show Barcelona's major Rafael Casanovas, who was injured on Barcelona's walls while leading the resistence against the Spanish invaders on September 11th 1714.

Very nice Cinderellas as usual. Loved the Barcelona views series.

Hope all went well yesterday.......I have just been reading all about it.

Thanks for your comments Londonbus1. Indeed it was very emotional. See so many people on both sides (I was on a road) and had to do two full strings. According to official statistics 1.6 million people participated along 250 miles ...

Thank you very much Mike for your (as usual!) very nice words.
Everything went, indeed, fine. I had the pleasure/honour of working on the organisation. I managed the Catalan Way to Independence on the Barcelona's Parliament square. It was impressive to see as many people of all ages and classes, asking for freedom in such a happy and civilized way. I just told them: "please, enjoy your time here and feel that you're making history". There was not a single word against Spain or their king, just the word "In, Inde, Independència!" (Independence!), shouted with joy and not any trace of rage...And, off course many patriotic songs, like Catalan National Anthem.
A wonderful afternoon, that's already written with golden letters in the Catalonia history book.
