Dutch Policeman

A propaganda poster created by Poesat Tenaga Peloekis Indonesia (P.T.P.I) in 1945, capturing the period of "struggle," features a grim reaper dressed in a Dutch policeman's outfit standing in front of a building labeled “Rep. Indonesia” and holding a bloodied scythe. The text on the poster declares “Dutch Policemen,” symbolizing the brutal oppression and violence inflicted by the Dutch colonial police. 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 both Indonesian and global issues.
