Glos jego pana [His Master's Voice]
Description
Grotesque portrait of Josef Goebbels (1897-1945) Reich Minister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany given a vigorous and impassioned speech. Both his hands are clenched into fists. In the background is a billowing red Nazi banner with a black swastika visible at its heart. A small black bird is perched at the top of the pole and bird droppings are falling onto the swastika.
The print has been mounted on dark grey card. The title in Polish with English and French translation is printed bottom centre, beneath the image, in gold ink. The original drawing reproduced in this offset lithograph was created by Polish artist Stanislaw Toegel (1905-1953) while in a Displaced Persons or D P camp at Osnabrück, Germany. During his time there he contributed further drawings and articles for a journal circulated amongst the DP camps.
