Siap Waspada

A propaganda poster created by Poesat Tenaga Peloekis Indonesia (P.T.P.I) in 1945 for the Indonesian proclamation of freedom on August 17, 1945, depicts a soldier standing guard in a moonlit village with the text "Siap Waspada." This phrase means "Ready and Alert," signifying the soldiers' vigilance against potential invasions by colonizers, ensuring the protection of the people and the nation. The 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 both Indonesian and global issues.
