Si Kantjil Tjerdik

A propaganda poster created by Poesat Tenaga Peloekis Indonesia (P.T.P.I) in 1946-1947 for the Linggadjati Agreement features a striking illustration of a mousedeer using an elephant, with the text "naskah R.P" (R.P. manuscript) stuck in a hole, as a stepping stone to jump. The bold text declares, “Si Kantjil Tjerdik, Gadjah Batoe Lontjatan,” inspires resilience, illustrating how intelligence can overcome obstacles. 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 Indonesian and global issues.
