Gurka Bikinan N.I.C.A

A propaganda poster created by Poesat Tenaga Peloekis Indonesia (P.T.P.I) in 1945, capturing the period of "struggle," features a man from the Netherlands Indies Civil Administration (NICA) painting another man who is likely a Gurkha, a soldier from Nepal recruited by the British Army. This poster is part of a scrapbook titled "We Struggle with Posters (P.T.P.I.)," which contains reduced reproductions of P.T.P.I. posters from 1945-1947, addressing both Indonesian and global issues.
