Basmilah Tiap Oesaha Pendjadjah

A propaganda poster created by Poesat Tenaga Peloekis Indonesia (P.T.P.I) in 1946-1947 for the Linggadjati Agreement features a prominent illustration of a hand clutching a knife with the text “Basmilah Tiap Oesaha Pendjadjah,” which translates to “Eradicate every attack effort by the invaders.” The poster underscores the message of destroying colonialism. This poster is part of a scrapbook titled "We Struggle with Posters (P.T.P.I.)", containing reduced reproductions of P.T.P.I. posters from 1945-1947, addressing Indonesian and global issues.
