Sen o potedze 1941 [The dream of power in 1941]
Description
Cartoon of Hitler dressed as an angel all in white. Complete with wings he is looking down on the globe. In his left hand is a palm leaf while his right is raised in a Nazi salute or in blessing?. Each continent on the globe is demarcated with barbed wire and the landscape dotted with small crosses.
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.
