Description

The poster for the VI Agricultural and Industry Trade Fair of Figueres, held in 1934, is a graphic piece of great heritage value that reflects the economic vitality of the Alt Empordà during the Second Republic. This fair, which combined agricultural promotion with industrial innovation, positioned Figueres as a regional center of reference and as a meeting point between producers, traders and institutions. The sign, with a modern and attractive design, conveys the pride of a territory that opted for modernization and external projection. In the European context between the wars, this event is part of the desire to boost the local economy and strengthen commercial links with other regions. The document is witness to an era of openness and progress, and shows how visual culture and economic promotion become tools for building identity and connecting with Europe.
