Anti-Militarism Poster 1968

1968réf. 220901968. PropagandaCounterculture Ты / Uncle Sam Wants You! New York: International Poster Corp. 1968. Offset lithographic poster in red black and cream tones measuring 21 x 29 inches. A striking Cold War-era visual pastiche that fuses Soviet revolutionary imagery with American military propaganda this poster was issued during a peak moment of political unrest in the U.S. amid the Vietnam War and domestic resistance movements. This design is a bold recontextualization of the iconic 1920 Soviet recruitment poster "Ты Ð·Ð°Ð¿Ð¸ÑÐ°Ð»ÑÑ добровольцем" "Did you volunteer" by Dmitry Moor repurposed here with the English slogan "Uncle Sam Wants You!" emblazoned below in tall confrontational type. The juxtaposition of Soviet iconography-complete with red army uniform factory smokestacks and Cyrillic lettering-with a phrase universally associated with U.S. enlistment efforts delivers a searing critique of militarism nationalism and ideological doublespeak on both sides of the Cold War divide. Produced by the International Poster Corp. a commercial publisher in the late 1960s known for distributing countercultural and revolutionary imagery this poster was marketed to radical bookstores and student groups across North America. It exemplifies the era's politically charged appropriation of state propaganda styles as a vehicle for anti-war New Left and student movement critiques. The figure's accusatory point lifted directly from Moor's original underscores a shared visual vocabulary of coercion that transcended ideological boundaries. Very good condition with strong color retention and no visible tears small surface abrasion on recto not affecting images. Printed copyright and publishing line along bottom margin. An evocative artifact of 1960s countercultural print culture merging international iconographies of enlistment and resistance. unknown

A COLLECTION OF 22 AUTHENTIC CHINESE-VIETNAMESE . . . JOSS PAPERS INCLUDING GOLD BARS COINS & CLOTHING . . . WITH HUNDREDS OF SHEETS OF PAPER EXAMPLES . WHAT IS JOSS: Venerating the ancestors is based on the belief that the spirits of the dead continue to dwell in the natural world and have the power to influence the fortune and fate of the living. The goal of ancestor worship is to ensure the ancestor's continued well-being and positive disposition towards the living and sometimes to ask for special favors or assistance. . Rituals of ancestor worship most commonly consist of offerings to the deceased to provide for their welfare in the afterlife which is envisioned to be similar to the earthly life. The burning of spirit money enables the ancestor to purchase luxuries and necessities needed for a comfortable afterlife. . WHAT IS JOSS PAPER: Jin Zhi or Xiang Zhi is Pinyin for Chinese Joss Paper meaning "Gold Paper" or "Fragrant Paper." They have also been called "Yinsizhi" Netherworld paper "Zhiqian" paper money "Ming bi" "Shade/Dark money" and several other similar names has been used over the centuries. . These papers have been burnt as offerings common in Chinese ancestral worship to venerate deceased family members and relatives on holidays and special occasions. They were also used as offerings in the worship of gods using similar Joss papers. . These papers were in two categories: 1. Paper representations of Chinese coins or currency some called: "Hell Notes" being large tied stacks of money. . b. Three-dimensional paper-crafts & papier-mâché made into items of daily use sent to the deceased ancestors or Gods for use in the "after life."

These are often called "Jingyi" "threads and clothes" which is a type of Joss paper with printed images of items needed by the dead in "daily life" such as clothes shoes cups and scissors &c. . THREE TYPES OF SPIRIT MONEY: Different types of spirit money are given to distinct categories of spirits. The three main types of spirit money are copper cash silver and gold. Cash monies are given to newly deceased spirits and spirits of the unknown. . Gold Jin spirit money is given to both the deceased and higher gods such as the Jade Emperor. . Silver spirit money Yin is given exclusively to ancestral spirits as well as spirits of local deities. These distinctions between the three categories of spirit money must be followed precisely to avoid confusing or insulting the spirits. .
