'SMASH THE WAR TREATY BETWEEN U.S. AND CHIANG KAI SHEK!'
An especially fierce and graphic anti-American poster: 'Smash the War Treaty Between U.S. and Chiang Kai Shek, Resolutely Liberate Taiwan!', 30.5 x 21 in., published by the North East Pictorial Publishing House and printed by the same establishment, January, 1955. Very rare first edition, first printing. The most striking image on the poster is a resolute Chinese soldier preparing to impale an American military figure resembling Douglas MacArthur and Chiang Kai-shek just as they are about to sign a defense treaty. Eight other cartoons appear at right showing Lyndon Johnson in military uniform abusing his new ally, an American officer in lockstep with a Japanese soldier's ghost, Americans bombing China, and so on. The poster was at one time split along two folds and repaired with cello tape - it should be properly restored and is in otherwise very good condition. One of the most impressive posters we've seen. From a single collection obtained entirely in China pre-2000.
