Item Description
Original Items: Only One Set of 5 Available. Political cartoons, often full of humorous caricatures of major figures, are one of the most enduring forms of political commentary, in use around the world. During wartime however, these often become far more pointed, often used both as a source of humor but also as home front propaganda and morale boosters. This is a great set of 5 anti-axis political cartoon mailing items, 4 post cards and one envelope, which show a great range of the various types in use during wartime around the world. The post cards all measure approximately 3 1/2" x 5 1/2", and do not look to have been mailed.
This lovely set includes:
● One U.S. "I SEE A BAD FINISH FOR YOU RATS" post card, showing "Axis Defeat" in a crystal ball, with "rat" caricatures of Hideki Tojo, Adolf H, and Benito Mussolini.
● One U.S. "THE BOWL GAZER" post card, showing Adolf H reflected in a Toilet.
● One U.S. "HIT**R WAR FUND" post card, showing a dog relieving himself in a German WWI helmet marked with a swas (hook cross). The rear has an EKC (Eastman Kodak Company) logo where the stamp would be placed.
● One Belgian "WHAT COMES AT LAST" post card, showing an Allied Soldier, probably British, on a motorcycle with the flags of the U.S., Belgium, France, Great Britain, and the USSR on the saddlebags. The front wheel of the motorcycle is running over the NSDAP Eagle.
● One U.S. Adolf H "Humpty Dumpty" caricature envelope, with a U.S. 3 cent "CORREGIDOR" stamp, and a DREXEL HILL PA OCT 6 1944 post stamp. The illustration is signed D. DAVIS, and it shows "Humpty" Adolf about to have a great fall off the crumbling NSDAP Wall.
A fantastic collector's set from WWII, ready to display!
