Object Details
- Description
- Against a yellow ground, the figure of a man set at a diagonal to the picture plane. A black and white photograph of a crowd makes up his torso, outlined in red. His mouth agape, eyebrows raised, he looks out toward the viewer. Behind his head, a red-tinted photograph showing the prow of a ship at dock. Before his torso, at lower left, two figured with their backs turned are also tinted red. At upper left, in capital letters on a slight curve, ‘Centrale Bond’. Across the photomontage torso, ‘30 000’. Along the bottom of the poster, ‘Transportarbeiders’.
