About the Item
This striking poster is a powerful artifact of international solidarity with the Black Panther Party during one of its most turbulent periods. Featuring a stark, high-contrast halftone portrait of Bobby Seale, co-founder and national chairman of the Black Panther Party, the design uses minimalism to deliver a bold, urgent message:
"Nous devons sauver Bobby Seale" ("We must save Bobby Seale").
Created around the time of Seale's arrest and trial as part of the Chicago Eight, the poster was printed and circulated in France by a solidarity committee that notably included the support of Simone de Beauvoir, a sign of how deeply the Panthers' cause resonated with intellectuals and activists abroad.
The poster’s visual impact lies in its use of pure black and off-white, with Seale’s expression rendered in dense halftone, suggesting both resolve and vulnerability. Its simplicity mirrors the clarity of its message: international attention and pressure were vital.
A rare survivor from the era of global revolutionary design, this piece is not just political ephemera—it is a testament to cross-border anti-racist organizing and the role of visual art in resistance movements.
