Description
One of 634 drawings from collection "They still draw pictures", which is part of the Southworth Spanish Civil War Collection housed in the Mandeville Special Collections Library at UC San Diego. The drawings were executed in pencil, ink, watercolor and/or crayon by Spanish school children in Madrid, Valencia, and elsewhere in Spain, and in refugee centers in France. Some of the drawings have Spanish captions (which have been transcribed and translated into the description for each digitized image). The drawings were collected under the auspices of the Spanish Board of Education and the Carnegie Institute of Spain. Some of the drawings were subsequently published in the book: They Still Draw Pictures / introduction by Aldous Huxley (New York : Spanish Civil Welfare Association of America for the American Friends Service Committee, 1938). The drawings in the custody of the Mandeville Special Collections Library have been digitized and are accessible via the UCSD Libraries DAMS or the online exhibit titled They Still Draw Pictures. Verso: Hoy jueves 6 de enero de 1938, El invierno es una de las quatro estaciones del año. El invierno se conoce en que los días son mas cortos y las noches mas largas y ademas [en el crossed out] en que se siembran cereales en que ace mucho frio y las ojas de los alboles se caen y se quedan los alboles ban las ramas que parecen que se an secado. Tambien se conoce en que cae nieve y se jela todo y nadie sale de las casas. El invierno empieza el 22 de diciembre [Today Thursday January 6, 1938. Winter is one of the four seasons of the year. The winter is known by its shorter days and longer nights and also because during it they sow grain and it is very cold and the leaves on the trees fall off and on the trees only the branches remain and seem as if they are dried up. It is also known by the fact that snow falls and everything freezes and nobody leaves the house. The winter begins on December 22]..
