World Disease

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's head being squeezed by pliers. The poster's text reads, “Brantaslah Penjakit Doenia,” which translates to “Eradicate the World's Diseases,” emphasizing the urgent need to eliminate global problems, symbolized as diseases. 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.
