"Sign a Petition for the Jewish People" – Illustrated Poster – The Netherlands, 1918
Teekent Het Joodsche Volks-Petitionement [Sign the petition for the Jewish people], illustrated poster designed by Albert Hahn Jr. (signed in the plate: Poussin). [The Netherlands, ca. 1918]. Dutch.
An illustrated poster, portraying a Jewish woman looking towards Palestine in the horizon. The poster was created, most probably, after World War I and towards the Paris Peace convention during which, among other topics, the future of Palestine (freed from Ottoman rule) was to be discussed. The poster calls to sign a petition supporting the main demands of the Jewish delegations committee that participated in the convention: ensuring national rights to the Jewish minority in different countries and establishing a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine.
