"Capitalizm is robbing them of their last piece of bread. Fight for yourself and your children. Vote Communist! Vote Thalmann!" Another icon, oringinally printed in 1932, in Heartfield's pantheon of pro-Communist propaganda. Although less of a photomontage than the previous lot, this image gets its effectiveness from the sympathetic photo and accompanying text. From the same series of reproductions as the previous lot. Heartfield cat. no 226, Berman p. 166 pl 97.
