Padi for India, Clothes for Indonesia

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 man wearing a peci with a bag of rice (padi) and another man wearing a turban with a fabric. The poster's text reads, “Padi Oentoek India, Bahan Pakaian Oentoek Indonesia,” which translates to “Rice for India, Fabric for Indonesia,” emphasizing the idea of trade between countries. 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.
