Provenance
Paul Eluard’s poem ‘Solidarité’ was first published in 1936 in the communist newspaper L’HumanitĂ©. In order to support the Spanish Republican Children's Fund during the Spanish Civil War, Stanley William Hayter decided to publish a portfolio with Paul Eluard’s poem and graphic works by Pablo Picasso, Joan Miro, Yves Tanguy, AndrĂ© Masson, John Buckland Wright, Dalla Husband and Hayter himself.
