"Discover the Enemy's Position before He Attacks" - Poster, 1948
"Discover the Enemy's Position before He Attacks", poster published by the IDF General Staff. Kfar Monash printing press, Kfar Monash, [1948]. Hebrew.
Color lithograph poster. Illustration of two Hebrew soldiers exposing an Arab rifleman beneath a camouflage fabric. The soldiers' figures are much larger than that of the Arab, their noses are disproportionately large and one is winking to the other grotesquely.
54X77 cm. Good-fair condition. Folding marks, stains, creases and some holes and tears (mostly to corners).
Provenance: Shlomo Shva collection.
