Date Sold 7/15/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Linenbacked World War II Poster (measures 28 1/4" x 38 1/4" [72 x 97 cm]) (Learn More) This is Nazi Brutality, the 1942 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster ("Radio Berlin. -- It is officially announced: - all men of Lidice - Czechoslovakia - have been shot: The women deported to a concentration camp: The children sent to appropriate centers-- The name of the village was immediately abolished. 6/11/42/115P") featuring Ben Shahn art of a shackled and hooded Czechoslovakian man about to be executed. It was created by Shahn for the US Office of War Information as a response to the Nazi-led annihilation and destruction of communities throughout the Czech Republic, including Lidice. It also protests the retaliatory measures taken for the attempted assassination by Czech resistance members of Reinhard Heydrich, director of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, under the Nazi occupation. This poster certainly seems not only "heavy handed" to today's world, but outright "over the top", but of course America during World War II knew that the Nazis could potentially conquer the entire world and they wanted to make sure every citizen did all they could to keep that from happening, and posters like this certainly drove that message home! Artist: Ben Shahn Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the top crossfolds and minor fold and border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
