The July rising of 1936 represented the start of the Spanish Civil War. Beginning on the night of July 17, the attack came as the culmination of several months of increased hostility in the streets of the major cities between adherents of the left and right.

Of the myriad of figures in this image, the sole worker appears larger than the rest. As a representation of the Republic, he is backed by a red star suggestive of the government's political leanings and social affiliation. He faces mechanized artillery with only the butt of his gun for defense, in reference to the relative strength of the two sides. Among the several smaller figures, two military officers (one carrying the red-yellow-red Alphonsine banner) in green are supported by separate individuals. One individual holding a cross is likely meant as a stand-in for the Church, and second dressed in white as a representation for the Army of Africa led by General Francisco Franco. A fifth figure carrying sacks of money is meant to represent the wealthy classes of Spain, like the other character clad in black his feet appear as talons.
