MONTERROSA-CUBIAS, Luis Gerardo. The Salvadoran Revolution of 1948. Visual Propaganda and Images. LiminaR [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.1, pp.64-80. ISSN 2007-8900.  https://doi.org/10.29043/liminar.v17i1.646.

This article examines the visual propaganda produced by the revolutionary movement that held power in the 1950s in El Salvador. To achieve this goal, some of the images published during three periods are contextualized: Oscar Osorio’s proselytizing campaign, the commemorations of the 1948 Revolution, and the legislative and municipal elections during this period. This article endeavors to incorporate images and photographs into historiographical work and investigate the government's interest in generating favorable public opinion.
