La Misere en Faux-Col ["White Collar Misery"]: Employes, Artisans, Fonctionnaires, Pensionnes, La Bourgeoisie Incapable D'Assurer Votre Existence Vous Ecrase Sous Des Charges de Toutes Sortes - Rejoignez Le Bloc Ouvrier-Paysan
[Impression illegible]: Bloc Ouvrier-Paysan, [1929]. Original lithographed poster, 40cm x 120cm (ca 16" x 47"). Minuscule losses at margins (not approaching image); closed tears; impression slightly weak; Very Good+, professionally backed on linen (B/B+).
An ephemeral work produced for the short-lived Bloc Ouvrier-Paysan (Workers & Peasants Party) a Communist splinter group which existed in France only from 1929-30. The poster invites white-collar workers, including artisans, civil servants, and pensioners, to join the Bloc to save themselves from being crushed under the weight of bourgeois capitalism. The image depicts the bourgeoisie, personified in the form of high rents, food goods, taxes, and transportation costs, being pulled forward by a horde of civil servants under harness. Copies located at Hoover Institution and the archives of the Department of Correze (France); none others in institutional collections or commerce.
Price: $750.00
