La gran estafa is a publication that appeared in Chile before the coup d'état of 11 September 1973. It was produced by the opposition party, the Christian Democrats on the occasion of the elections to renew the National Congress in March 1973. The booklet is somewhere between a propaganda and protest document and shows, from the side of the opposition to the Allende government (elected in 1970), how the nation was failing to emerge from a series of problems and how it was heading in the wrong direction. A few considerations: there is no information on who wrote and conceived all the news that is quoted. Another interesting aspect is the graphic layout with combinations of cropped image parts, a constructed narrative that leads the reader to make immediate visual comparisons.
