"another"? Perhaps you should contemplate the question of the first image further.

Anyways, "captain swing" hardly sounds english... but really, I mainly want to know this spanish propaganda poster is for, why it is referancing an old english icon, and what the addition of "Capitan swing" is about.

i only know about captain swing from reading Robert Hughes, The Fatal Shore, about the settling of Australia. Sometime in the early 19th century, 1820's maybe?, there was a rebellion in one of the regions of england, local tenant farmers went around destroying property of the local gentry. They would leave notes saying "from Captain Swing, London"

Interesting. I'll have to look into that.

I'm still interested in what the poster is about, though.

You use a Norfolk Island flag, and you havent read The Fatal Shore? Have you read another history of the settlement of Australia? You do know what Norfolk Island was, dont you?
