Broadside. 45.5cm x 38cm. A single sheet of paper, printed recto only. Clean and bright with a single old very faint horizontal fold mark, and an old number in ink to the upper right corner, a fine example. A call to the anti-fascists of Zara, now Zadar on the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia. At the beginning of WW2 Zara was occupied by the Italian fascist forces, then subsequently by the Nazi 114th Jäger Division who were tasked with eradicating Partisan forces on the Dalmatian Coast, and who commited a number of atrocities and war crimes in the execution of this task, along with the Fallschirm-Panzer Div. Herman Göring they were amongst the most despised German units in the region. Zara was subsequently carpet bombed by the Allies, causing massive civilian casualties and enormous cultural loss and destruction to a city which is credited as the oldest continuously occupied community in the region, with regional traces going back to 4,000 years BCE. Subsequent to the fall of the Reich and the end of WW2, Zara was formally renamed Zadar and became a part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. "All Anti-Fascists of Zara (persecuted by the former fascist regime) are invited to participate in the meeting that will be held on 1.xii.1945 in the hall of the Caffe Centrale for business that concerns them. Death To Fascism - Freedom to The People! The Committee" The Caffe Centrale still exists, and is still a well known cafe in the old quarter of Zadar, a piece of trivia made even more amazing by the statistic that the Allied bombings not only killed 20% of the civilian population, but also destroyed more than half of the historical buildings, leading to Zadar being dubbed "The Dresden of The Adriatic." Obviously distributed in a tiny run to a depleted and exhausted local populace, definitively ephemeral. No trace on OCLC.

Very good. Backed on linen. Size 27.5 x 39 Inches. This is a large-format 1944 Dante Coscia Italian fascist, anti-American propaganda poster. Intended to instill fear of the U.S. and Allied occupation of Italy, the poster stokes anti-Black racism, a common theme in Italian fascist propaganda, especially as the regime's control of the Italian Peninsula was slipping. A Closer Look The poster features a seated African-American man in an Uncle Sam outfit whose feet are being scrubbed by an Italian man. Uncle Sam's menacing grimace and clawed fingers, one hand looming over Europe on an adjacent globe, reinforce the conspicuous message. The poster is designed to threaten Italian masculinity, as the Italian man is forced to clean Uncle Sam's shoes as his family watches in shame, and Uncle Sam appears to be eyeing his wife. The full caption beneath the illustration reads: 'Free America promises dollars and work to Italians; but if 12 million of its unemployed workers live on subsidies, what work can it give to the vanquished people if not servitude and dishonor?' Dante Coscia and Italian Fascist Propaganda Dante Coscia (1912 - 1986) was one of a group of prolific Italian propagandists of the World War II era whose dramatic, richly-colored chromolithographic prints lent power to the blunt messaging of the fascist regime. Coscia was similar in style and ideology to the better-known illustrator Gino Boccasile (1901 - 1952) and, like Boccasile, appears to have been a true believer in Mussolini, following the dictator until the end of the war. (Boccasile even joined the Nazi Italian Division of the Nazi S.S.) Both artists developed a penchant for anti-American propaganda that drew heavily on Italians' racial anxieties as well as widespread distaste for perceived American decadence, materialism, and usurious exploitation of Europe in the years after the First World War. Despite their wartime activities and Boccasile's brief arrest at the end of the war, after which he was 'blacklisted' and reduced to sketching pornography, both artists appear to have rebounded quickly and had successful postwar careers producing apolitical works, especially advertising. Historical Context Although the exact date (month and day) of this work's production is unknown, Italian fascism was already facing an existential crisis at the start of the year marked here, 1944. The Allies had already captured Sicily, bombed Rome, crossed the Straits of Messina, and were fighting their way up the Italian Peninsula. On July 24-25, 1943, plots involving King Vittorio Emanuele III and opponents of Mussolini in the Italian government were enacted, bringing down Mussolini as the country's Prime Minister and placing him under arrest. Now, with Pietro Badoglio heading the government, secret armistice negotiations with the Allies began and were formalized in early September. At this point, Italy formally stopped fighting the Allies, while the Germans vowed to continue fighting any Allied offensives on the peninsula. Italian troops behind the frontlines were forcibly disarmed by the Germans, who also launched a daring airborne raid on the prison holding Mussolini to free him and undertook increasingly brutal anti-insurgency campaigns throughout the parts of Italy they occupied. Meanwhile, the Allies continued to fight a grinding and costly campaign against well-entrenched, mostly German defenders. By December, Mussolini headed a new rump fascist state dubbed the Italian Social Republic, better known as the Republic of Salò after its de facto capital. Surrounded by true believers and defended, as best possible, by the Germans, Mussolini clung to power over constantly diminishing territory until the last days of the war, when he was captured and executed by partisans on April 28, 1945. As the situation of the fascists was increasingly desperate, their propaganda became increasingly shrill. The supposed dangers of Allied occupation were regularly emphasized, with the Black soldiers.

Very good. Blank on verso. Size 44.5 x 33 Inches. This is a powerful 1945 WWII Era Sándor Ék anti-Nazi pro-soviet propaganda poster published shortly after the liberation of Budapest. A Closer Look American, British, and Soviet bombs rain down on Hitler, who, injured, cowers under a broken Nazi helmet. Hitler is attempting a sly escape but is met by a phalanx of bayonets. The whole rests upon a Harrison-esque presentation of the Earth, underscoring the global nature of World War II (1939 - 1945). Ek, the artist, was a pro-Soviet socialist and, when this map was made, a soldier in the Red Army. While the imagery is broadly pro-Allies, it is specifically pro-Soviet, their bombs having done the most damage and being the most numerous. Hungary During World War II In the 1930s, Hungary became ever more deeply linked to fascist regimes in Italy and Germany. Through the influence of the Axis powers, territory lost in the Treaty of Trianon after World War I (1914 - 1918) was returned to Hungary. Under pressure from Germany, Hungary joined the Axis in 1940, after which Hungarian troops participated in the invasions of Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union. When the tides of war began to turn against Germany, Hungary initiated armistice negotiations with the United States and the United Kingdom. In March 1944, when Germany became aware of Hungary's betrayal, German troops invaded. In defense, the Red Army crossed into Hungary in September, and a unilateral armistice between Hungary and the Soviet Union was signed. In retaliation, Nazi forces deposed the Hungarian president and installed a fascist leader, Ferenc Szálasi. Nonetheless, Budapest was liberated on February 13, 1945, after a 50-day siege by the Red Army. Publication History and Census This poster was drawn by Sándor Ék in 1945. Variants were issued in Hungarian, German, and possibly other languages. We are aware of one other example, located at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.

Very good. Poster mounted. Blank on verso. Size 29.5 x 38.875 Inches. Printed in 1944 during World War II and shortly after the Allies seized Rome and the D-Day landings in Normandy, this anti-American anti-Roosevelt broadside was published by Italian fascists to expose what they considered to be American hypocrisy. It references American President Franklin D. Roosevelt's 'D-Day Prayer,' broadcast on June 6, 1944. The broadside centers on an imposing caricature of Roosevelt kneeling with hands folded and eyes closed, as if in prayer. To both his right and left, text bubbles appear, almost ephemerally as if in a dream, stating Roosevelt's wishes for the coming battles and, ultimately, final unconditional victory. Each phrase is accompanied by a vignette that does not illustrate Roosevelt's words, but what the Italian fascist creator of this broadside wants its viewers to understand from the words. Perhaps, the creator even references the reality of what the war had become, instead of Roosevelt's sanitized and propagandized pleas to Almighty God. Roosevelt's Use of the Radio Roosevelt famously employed the radio as a means of connecting with average Americans throughout his presidency. Begun in 1933, Roosevelt made thirty such broadcasts, known as 'Fireside Chats', which varied in length from fifteen minutes to over half an hour. Each broadcast discussed a different subject with the American people, most of which were recorded and are now part of the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress. Roosevelt's last Fireside Chat took place on June 12, 1944, to mark the opening of the Fifth War Loan Drive. The broadcast on June 5, 1944, which proclaimed the Fall of Rome, was also a Fireside Chat. Roosevelt's D-Day Prayer On the evening of June 6, Roosevelt felt he needed to address the nation about the Normandy invasion. This invasion, codenamed Operation Overlord, came at a pivotal point in World War II and opened a second front in the European war, with Soviet Russia's Red Army fighting Hitler's Germany in the east. Roosevelt had not acknowledged the Normandy invasion the previous night in his discussion of events in Italy and addressed that silence at the beginning of his D-Day broadcast, stating last night, when I spoke with you about the fall of Rome, I knew at that moment that troops of the United States and our allies were crossing the Channel in another and greater operation. It has come to pass with success thus far. Then he asks the American people to join him in prayer. Roosevelt begins by calling the invasion a 'mighty endeavor' and states that it is 'a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.' As he continues, he evokes the imagery of the righteousness of the Allied cause against the enemy, whom he calls 'strong'. He states several times that the Allies will triumph, but that the victory will be hard won. Then he identifies the values for which the Allies believe to be fighting, and contrasts them with the ethos of the enemy, For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and good will among all Thy people. At the end of his prayer, Roosevelt beseeches God to aid in achieving final victory, With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogancies. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister Nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all of men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil. Although this message was intended for the American people, it was immediately picked up and broadcast globally.
