193818999Berlin: Nationalsozialistiche Volkswohlfahrt 1938. Lithograph printed in black and brown on cream stock 42cm X 30cm ca.16.5" X 11.75". Folded vertically at center with marginal toning to extremities and a few small corner creases; Near Fine. Original advertising poster for the Winterhilfswerk or WHW a social relief program designed to provide food clothing coal and other items to needy German citizens during the winter months October-March. The program was instituted under the government of Heinrich Bruning in 1931 though Hitler would ultimately claim sole credit for the idea. Depending on whether an individual was single or married and how many children he or she had recipients were entitled to a weekly/monthly stipend and rations of food and coal to ensure they and their families would neither starve nor freeze. Indeed the program's motto was "None shall starve or freeze." Under Nazi rule all German citizens were required to give to the program - one of Hitler's ingenious ways of uniting the nation. Large donations to the fund were also a means of establishing ones loyalty to the Nazi Party without the commitment of joining it. <br/><br/>The present example explains how to donate to the fund and provides a detailed chart showing exactly how much individual or family recipients could benefit from the program. An attractive survival showing the dynamics of German social welfare. [Nationalsozialistiche Volkswohlfahrt] unknown books

19729271New York: Colorcraft Inc. 1972. First Printing. Near Fine. Minimal wear else bright and clean. 25x39". Photographic image. <br/><br/>"This propaganda poster was issued by artists and writers united in protest against U.S. government policies under President Richard M. Nixon who was elected in 1968. In 1972 Nixon ran for re-election defeating the Democrat George McGovern. The Nixon campaign slogan was "Four More Years." This poster subverts the slogan asking instead whether Americans really wanted four more years of Nixon presidency. Printed over Ron L. Haeberle's well-known and disturbing image of the My Lai massacre in Vietnam the message creates a stark association between controversial American foreign policy and savage brutality. The image supplies its own answer to the leading question implying that four more years under Nixon's administration could lead to further violence and subjugation. Later in 1972 Nixon's Watergate scandal emerged eventually forcing the President to resign." V&A description A very handsome copy of a remarkably strong piece of political commentary/protest.
