1942175578Circa1942. Small airborne propaganda leaflet printed on one side only featuring a colour illustration. Appears to have been dropped during the Malayan Campaign. 14.6 x 19.8 cm creased and marked on the reverse. Image still very clear and strong. Airborne colour propaganda leaflet urges the British troops to surrender to Japan. The rather oddly worded text reads: <br> <br>"Iron-rationed. Stranded. <br>Nothing but dog biscuits. <br>Day after day positively. <br>How about a dish of salad like this <br>For a change of diet. just a change of mind". <br> <br>The image shows three figures two of whom are identifiable as British soldiers in a desperate situation on a small piece of land possibly representing Singapore. In the distance their warships are burning. A plate of salad which dominates the image looks enticingly fresh and colourful albeit rather surprising that the Japanese military propaganda believed salad would motivate the soldiers to surrender! Similar messages published and dropped by the Allies were distributed to Japanese troops in Japanese towards the end of the Pacific War with the same aim in mind. <br> <br>Although we have not been able to identify the area depicted with absolute certainty we believe this leaflet was likely dropped during the Malayan Campaign rather than Guadalcanal as we have seen it attributed to. Our reasons for this include the leaflet showing British soldiers whereas American servicemen were primarily involved in Guadalcanal. The burning ships offshore seem to fit more with the sinking of the HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse particularly as only two are depicted and they are being destroyed by what seem to be land-based bombers not other ships or carrier-based aircraft. Likewise at the late stage in the Pacific War that the Guadalcanal Campaign took place Japan was no longer in a position where they could cope with POWs nor were they likely to be in a position to print colour leaflets or distribute them. <br> <br>Commonly airborne leaflets were used over land battles rather than in naval battles. . unknown

1977151285Hong Kong: Wenhua ziliao gongying she 1977. Chairman Mao's widow under attack First edition first printing of this collection of propaganda cartoons seldom seen in commerce and presenting here in exceptional condition. This visually striking work was issued by a Beijing-backed publisher in Hong Kong to bring to the colony the tumultuous politics of the post-Mao mainland in particular the denunciations of a fallen political faction led by Chairman Mao's widow. The roots of the present publication lie in the dramatic political changes that gripped the People's Republic of China in autumn 1976. After Mao's death in early September a new leadership grouping quickly coalesced around the up-and-coming politician Hua Guofeng and less than a month after Mao's passing Hua arranged the arrest and imprisonment of a rival wing of the communist party leadership led by Mao's widow Jiang Qing. Hua's faction argued that Jiang and her allies posed an existential threat to Mao's revolutionary legacy. Jiang along with Zhang Chunqiao Yao Wenyuan and Wang Hongwen were quickly christened the "Gang of Four" by state media and they became the go-to scapegoats for the chaos of the Cultural Revolution years 1966-1976. Ultimately their fate was decided in a sensational televised trial in 1981 at which they were sentenced to lengthy prison sentences. After the "Gang's" arrest to make the official narrative stick and to prepare the way for the trial state propaganda organs pumped out huge quantities of anti-"Gang" agitprop. This material was often visual with professional and amateur caricaturists and cartoonists drafted in to draw memorable condemnations of the "Gang's" political crimes. The present work anthologises some of the best of these drawings from the Chinese mainland for readers in Hong Kong. The publisher's Beijing links can be seen in the way the text accompanying the cartoons mirrors the party lines emanating from communist newspapers such as the People's Daily while the blurb on the rear wrapper talks of the Chinese people's "hatred" of the "Gang." The caricatures present all the standard political refrains of state media: the work begins with images of Jiang Qing showing her pseudo-imperial political aspirations while her allies toady at her feet; Zhang Chunqiao and Yao Wenyuan become grotesque pen-wielding ideologues; and Wang Hongwen is depicted primping and preening ready to take on the position of premier. The "Gang" are often depicted together as a choir singing counter-revolutionary anthems as a group indulging in an hedonistic decidedly un-socialist lifestyle and as a four-headed monster with tentacles extending across the political world. Quite apart from their entertainment value these materials were extremely successful. The anti-"Gang" narrative remains in vogue today and still exerts a strong influence on academic research into modern Chinese politics. Octavo. Cartoons and drawings throughout title page and copyright page printed in blue. Original green paper wrappers title and caricatures printed in red white and black.

First international edition first printing of this scarce septalingual propaganda poster representing the unity of Communist China's ethnicities and classes. Designed by model workers in Shanghai it was released to promote the Campaign to Study the Dictatorship of the Proletariat - the last hurrah of the Cultural Revolution's revolutionary politics before Mao's death in 1976. Chinese posters from the 1970s are uncommon in such collectible condition. In this poster multiple figures are shown clutching a pamphlet published in 1975 titled Makesi Engesi Liening lun wuchan jieji zhuanzheng Marx Engels and Lenin on the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. With Mao ailing and more moderate economic reformers resurgent radical members of the Chinese Communist Party's leadership spearheaded a new campaign to study Marxist-Leninist theory and reinvigorate the Cultural Revolution. In keeping with the period's emphasis on collectivized cultural production the artwork was produced by amateur artists from Shanghai's Jing'an District Cultural Palace with assistance from Li Min and Hu Yiren two factory workers and You Longgu from the publisher Shanghai renmin chubanshe Shanghai People's Press. A domestic edition of 30000 copies was printed in tandem with this international edition distributed abroad by China's state bookstore.
