We don’t ask for freedom

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, features a striking illustration of the Indonesian flag with the text, "We don’t ask for freedom, we have the right to it," emphasizing that every nation inherently deserves freedom. This poster is part of a scrapbook titled "We Struggle with Posters (P.T.P.I.)," which contains reduced reproductions of P.T.P.I. posters from 1945-1947, addressing both Indonesian and global issues.
