Large colour poster of patriotic children standing proudly to the right of a medal, text in simplified Chinese characters, 74.7 x 52.5cm. Good copy. This print, from a highly symbolic painting done in a modern impressionist style by ??? Zhang Changqing, would have been a wall poster for use in upper primary classrooms, with the aim of encouraging children to strive to be heroes and to achieve. Behind the children is an image of the 1986 Laoshan Hero Commemorative Medal ????????? . The girl is holding a text or notebook with the words Laoshan on the cover, symbolising sacrifice, bravery and usually that the bearer had somehow contributed to the Laoshan war effort, but in this case possibly a textbook about Laoshan and the need to learn from the heroes of that military campaign.

Very good. Closed tear extending 1 inch into printed area (through Delattre imprint in lower left corner below bottom border) professionally repaired on verso. Size 23.25 x 37.25 Inches. This is a c. 1917 G. Delattre World War I French propaganda map of the United States. The map celebrates the U.S. entrance to WWI on the side of the Entente just a few weeks prior. This was an era-defining event that brought new hope to the long-suffering French forces then mired in a static but high-cost trench war. A Closer Look After years of hardship and deprivation, this map aims to raise national morale and promote the wave of fresh supplies then en route from the United States. Text in the upper right lists incoming goods, including ammunition, wheat, gasoline, cotton, machinery, ships, and soldiers. Other supplies are scattered across the U.S., such as gold, silver, iron, beef, and corn. The phrase above the map is Woodrow Wilson's quote, 'We are brothers in the same cause.' Wilson said this in his farewell speech to the French Minister of Justice (and former Premier) Rene Viviani, who visited Washington after the American declaration of war. Vivani repeated the phrase several times in public remarks after returning to Paris. Publication History and Census This poster was created c. 1917 and printed by G. Delattre.

Very good. Mounted on heavy linen. Size 33.5 x 23.25 Inches. This is a powerful 1945 Slovak-language Soviet World War II propaganda poster heralding the achievements of the Yalta Conference and the Allies' agreement to continue the fight until Germany was defeated. The evocative image set against a bright yellow background features three fists (representing the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union) punching a dejected and depressed Hitler. A Nazi swastika is breaking apart in the background. The text reads, 'Nácistické Nemecko bude dobité v najkratom ?ase - tak sa rozhodli Stalin, Roosevelt a Churchill na krymskej konferencii' ('Nazi Germany will be conquered in the shortest possible time - this is what Stalin, Roosevelt, and Churchill decided at the Crimean conference'). The Yalta Conference The Yalta Conference was a meeting between U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, U.K. Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Soviet General Secretary Joseph Stalin. It occurred at Yalta in Crimea and was held February 4 - 11, 1945. The participants discussed how to shape postwar Europe and declared an intention of self-determination for liberated Europe. Slovakia during World War II On March 14, 1939, an independent Slovakia was declared, emerging out of Hitler's invasion of Czechoslovakia. Slovakia was led by Jozef Tiso, a Catholic priest, and signed a friendship agreement with Nazi Germany. Slovakians fought in the German Army on the Eastern Front for the entirety of the war. In 1944, the Slovak National Uprising broke out and lasted from August 29, 1944, until late October. This forced Nazi Germany to send troops needed on the Eastern Front to secure Slovakia. The Soviet Red Army slowly liberated Slovakia in the spring of 1945 and entered Bratislava in early April, ending collaborationist independent Slovakia. After the end of the war, Czechoslovakia was reestablished. Publication History and Census This poster was published in 1945 by the Soviet government. This is the only known surviving example of the 1945 edition in Slovakian. We are aware of 2 surviving examples of a 1944 Russian language edition, which are held by the Vabamu Museum of Occupations and Freedom in Tallinn, Estonia, and the Boris Yeltsin Presidential Library in St. Petersburg.

Very good. Laid on linen, poster style. Stabilized abrasion, likely old fold wear, crossing the sheet horizontally just north of Luzon. Size 29.5 x 19.5 Inches. This powerful 1944 Patrick Cokayne Keely World War II propaganda image presents Japan as a menacing octopus with grasping tentacles extending throughout Southeast Asia, the Philippines, and the East Indies. A Closer Look The use of an octopus to represent Japan is ironic, as Japanese artists in the early 20th century were quick to embrace similar imagery, ultimately based on the c. 1870s work of British artist Fred Rose, to criticize Russian imperialism. Here, it has been turned against them. Keely's poster presents the height of Japanese expansionism before its early gains in Asia began to be pushed back by Allied forces. The Dutch government-in-exile, based in London, backed this poster in the hopes that the former Dutch colonies, along with their neighbors in the Philippines and Southeast Asia, would push back against the Japanese occupation. Although, this did happen in Southeast Asia and the Philippines, the former Dutch East Indies suffered brutally under the Japanese, with millions dying of starvation in forced labor camps. Eager to push onward toward the Japanese Home Islands, Allied forces largely bypassed the East Indies, and both occupation and fighting persisted well after the Japanese surrender. Dutch authority was restored after VJ Day, but by this time, a strong nationalist and anti-Dutch sentiment had developed in the islands, and Indonesia was recognized as independent 5 years later in 1949. According to Philip Curtis in War Map: Pictorial Conflict Maps 1900 - 1950 , While the propaganda message of the map is clear, the exact purpose of the poster and whether indeed it was ever actually distributed is more problematic. It may be that when this was commissioned and printed in 1944, it was in anticipation of the imminent Allied liberation of the Dutch East Indies. The intention would have been to distribute it to the re-emerging Dutch colonial authorities and the hopefully grateful peoples of the newly liberated territories. If this was indeed the plan it turned out to be seriously wrong on both counts. Firstly the Americans decided to bypass the Dutch East Indies and push straight on towards Japan itself. . Secondly the Indonesians themselves having now experienced subjugation from both the Dutch and the Japanese ., were determined upon their own independence which they declared within five days of the Japanese surrender. Publication History and Census This image was drawn in 1944 by Patrick Cokayne Keely for the Dutch government-in-exile. It was printed by offset lithograph in London by James Howarth and Brother. It is recorded that 10,000 were printed, but it is unclear if the posters were actually released. Today, the piece is extremely scarce. We are aware of editions both in Dutch, as here, and in English. There are a few examples in institutional collections, but this map is rare to the market.
