Djangan Lengah
A propaganda poster created by Poesat Tenaga Peloekis Indonesia (P.T.P.I) in 1947 during the Dutch colonial war portrays Indonesians asleep with their guns gathering dust, while news from the United Nations Organization (UNO) blares from the radio and Dutch forces gather on the horizon. The text, "Djangan Lengah" meaning “Don’t Drop Your Guard”, underscores the importance of remaining vigilant. 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.
