Text:
“LA CATALANA” (the name of the company).
“SEGUROS CONTRA INCENDIOS A PRIMA FIJA” (insurance against fires with a fixed premium).
Symbol: A shield with vertical stripes, evoking the Catalan coat of arms (the Senyera of Catalonia).
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Spanish insurance companies used to place these metal plaques on the façades of buildings they insured, especially against fire. This practice was common all over Europe. These plaques served both as advertising and as a mark of protection: fire brigades often prioritized extinguishing fires in buildings insured by their company.
