About This Item
London: Communist Party of Great Britain, 1942. A collection of six posters, one dated 1942 and the rest 1943, approximately 220mm x 350mm in size. The posters are: 'Increase Agricultural Production for Victory in 1943'; 'This is the Tale of the Munich Men, Who Cheated the People Again and Again'; 'How Easy-Going Alf was Taught The Way That People's Wars are Fought'; 'Let's Sock the Fascist on the Jaw And Finish Him for Evermore'; 'It's More Important Now Than Ever For Workers All to Stand Together'; and 'This is a Tale That's Perfectly True It Shows What Getting Together Can Do'. With a few small closed tears, small nick to head of 'Munich Men', stamp of CPGB to reverse of one poster, but with no bleed through, paper flaw to bottom corner of 'Increase Agricultural Production', otherwise fairly bright. Six panel posters, with rhyming couplets, five illustrated by Elizabeth Shaw, one, 'It's More Important Now Than Ever', possibly not by her. Elizabeth Shaw "produced some unusual cartoon posters for the CP during the war in a rather whimsical style reminiscent of nineteenth century children's books by Lear and Belloc, and she went on to have a successful career in book illustration in the GDR" (Cope, 'Bibliography of the Communist Party of Great Britain', pages 42-43). First Edition. Unbound. Good. Illus. by Shaw, Elizabeth. Folio. Posters.
