Sandiwara Inggris

A propaganda poster created by Poesat Tenaga Peloekis Indonesia (P.T.P.I) portrays the era of "struggle" with a stage resembling a variete theatre. It bears the text “Allied Murderers Association Committing Atrocious Brutalities” with the acronym AMACAB, referring to the Allied Military Administration–Civil Affairs Branch, formerly known as NICA. This illustration employs sarcasm to highlight the perceived brutality of the Allied forces. The poster is part of a scrapbook titled "We Struggle with Posters (P.T.P.I.)," featuring reduced reproductions of P.T.P.I. posters from 1945-1947, addressing both Indonesian and global issues.
