              <text>This vibrant lithographic handbill (folleto de mano) was produced for the Spanish theatrical release of Robert Wise’s landmark 1951 American science fiction film, The Day the Earth Stood Still.The illustration is the work of Soligó, one of Spain's most prolific and celebrated mid-century film poster artists. It depicts the iconic, towering metallic robot Gort confronting a terrified Helen Benson (played by Patricia Neal). In the background, a beam of light slices through the night sky toward the United States Capitol dome in Washington, D.C., emphasizing the film's Cold War political anxieties and themes of global intervention.Handbills of this type were a staple of Spanish cinema culture from the 1920s through the 1960s. Distributed at theater entrances or tucked into local newspapers, they served as collectible, double-sided advertisements. The reverse side typically featured local theater showtimes, synopses, or promotional text provided by the distributor, Hispano Foxfilm, S.A. This piece stands as a striking example of how Hollywood's golden age of science fiction was visually reinterpreted to captivate European audiences.</text>
