’Boe Pertiwi Minta Bukti: Indonesia Siaaap!!
A propaganda poster created by Poesat Tenaga Peloekis Indonesia (P.T.P.I) in 1947 during the Dutch colonial war portrays a soldier holding a spear, symbolizing resistance, with the outline of a female figure in white at the center. The text reads, "’Boe Pertiwi Minta Bukti: Indonesia Siaaap!" which translates to “Mother Indonesia demands evidence: Indonesia, be ready!”. The 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.
