Learning A.B.C

A propaganda poster created by Poesat Tenaga Peloekis Indonesia (P.T.P.I) in 1946, capturing the period of "pembangunan" (nation-building), features an illustration of a farmer, identified by the hat on the table, learning to read and write. The poster's text reads, “Senang! Karena dapat membatja, menoelis,” which translates to “Happy! Because I can read and write,” emphasizing the empowerment of the people through education, even for farmers. This poster is part of a scrapbook titled "We Struggle with Posters (P.T.P.I.)," containing reproductions of P.T.P.I. posters from 1945-1947.
