Combatre el virus... com al 36 / Fight the virus as well as fascism
IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE.
Aquest abril del 2021, com a mínim a Sabadell, han aparegut cartells demanant a la gent que es vacuni... però son cartells del 1937, dissenyats per Martí Bas durant la guerra civil. Per tant, la defensa és doble, contra el virus i contra el idem del feixisme.
Foto presa amb una Leica I (A) fabricada el 1929; Elmar f3.5 / 50mm; Eastman Double X (5222) revelat amb D76.
Kodak Eastman Double-X (5222) és una pel·licula de 35mm molt famosa, realment producte de cinema. S'ha emprat a obres com Schindler's List, Casino Royale o The Lighthouse.

==========================
In my hometown, Sabadell, in Catalonia, somebody has put this pro-vaccines posters... again. And I say again because a pro-vaccine poster may seems quite 2021, but these postsers were designed back in 1937, during the spanish civil war. So they urge to fight illness... and fascism.
The text says, in Catalan: Defensa't contra l'enemic que no es veu. Vacuna't ("Defense yourself against the unseen enemy. Get vaccinated").
Picture taken with a Leica I (A) made in 1929; Elmar f3.5 / 50mm; Eastman Double X (5222) developed in D76.
As usual, the camera is even older than the design of those posters ;-)
Kodak Eastman Double-X (5222) is one of the most famous 35mm film stocks out there. It's really a movie film, not sold by Kodak in anything smaller than 400 ft. reels (!!). Fortunately, others repack it in 100 ft reels, or even 135 standard cassettes. Double-X has been used in Schindler's List, Casino Royale or The Lighthouse.
