A Polish home front propaganda poster, 30 x 37 in. b/w, shows a multitude of Polish citizens, both women and men, doing auxiliary work, interspersed with images of attractive young women. The poster is titled: ‘Our Defense of Our Wide Country’, while the text beneath celebrates the role of women in the war effort: ‘We build fortifications for them! They are supposed to cultivate our land, and not to supplement the Red battalion of Siberian slaves, or to rot in the dirt of Eastern cities, like the scum of the gutters!...A woman is at the front line. She instinctively senses what the present dangerous moment requires and knows what estates she should save and keep for her family…She doesn’t want to be ashamed before God and her children!' Light wear and chipping to the bottom margin, otherwise very good.
