Item Description
Original Item. Only One Available. Posters have long been used as a means to spread ideas and promote causes. During World War II, they were used to generate patriotism, sway public opinion and spread propaganda. They spoke from a position of authority to unite people in a common cause. These propaganda posters were often displayed in libraries, post offices, schools and factories. They addressed a number of home and war front issues including worker productivity, security, food rations and war bonds. They were all part of a national and international campaign to support the war effort during WWII.
This is a phenomenal colorful WWII propaganda poster of a grinning Japanese Officer holding a samurai sword and looking at four pictured battle scenes (Pearl Harbor, Guadalcanal, Saipan and Palau). Patriotic printing at the top "...remember me? I'm still fighting you!" The poster measures 36" x 28 ½”. The poster is in overall fair shape, but appears to have been partially cut off on the left side, as some of the logistical print at the bottom is cut off.
This poster was to remind the American public to stay dedicated to the war cause and stirred them with emotive and often stereotypical images of the enemy. This is characteristic of the negative portrayal of Japanese soldiers and the use of emotive images in American propaganda posters.
This is a really great example of a rare propaganda poster that doesn’t come up for sale often. Don’t miss out!
