COSSACK ANTI-SEMITIC, ANTI-SOVIET PROPAGANDA POSTER
Rare war-date propaganda poster aimed at the separatist sentiments of Ukrainian cossacks, 25 1/4" x 33 3/4", marked at bottom: "W.Z. 96125 (D. ofs.) 1943)". The poster depicts a cossack standing upright dressed in a red shirt, blue pants and tall black boots, holding in each hand a green-complexioned caricature of an orthodox Jew and a grimacing commissar. At bottom the reader is exhorted: "COSSACKS, NOW IS THE TIME TO SAVE YOUR FAMILY AND COUNTRY! TIME TO TOSS OFF THE YOKE WHICH WE HAVE UPON US!". Light horizontal fold, light toning and a very light stain at bottom, else very good.
