136 - Militaria: Cold War / Pamphlet - Anti-Communist Postcard “La Pelle de Stockholm” 1950 / Michat / Paris (Seine 75) - This satirical document was drawn by the cartoonist Michat (the artist’s signature is printed within the illustration). It was published by the movement’s headquarters located at 167 Rue de l’Université in Paris (75). An iconic image of the Franco-Soviet propaganda war, it subverts the communist-inspired “Stockholm Appeal” to read “The Stockholm Shovel — To Bury Our Freedoms.” The illustration depicts an allegory of the USSR’s subjugation of Eastern Europe, featuring a shovel-shaped monument listing the countries that had come under Soviet control: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. Original two-color lithographic print (blood-red, midnight-blue, and black inks). The publisher’s mark is perfectly clear along the bottom margin. An authentic political archival piece in excellent condition, with fresh paper, vivid colors, and crisp corners.
