Dutch WWII Caricatures of Hitler, Göring, Stalin, Rooseveld, and Churchill

About the Item

A very remarkable collection of Folk Art caricatures made of Dutch ration 'food stamps.'  First caricature portrays a fat Hermann Go¨ring holding a ceremonial Baton. Signed 'Guust 45' (Guust is a typical mid-20th century surname). Size: W 32 cm x H 39 cm. Second work are caricatures of Churchill, Rooseveld and Stalin. Signed 'Guust 45.' Size: W 42.5 cm x H 32 cm. Third caricature portrays the German officer as a donkey. In the Netherlands a donkey symbolises stupidity. Signed 'Guust 44.' Size: W 31 cm x H 37 cm.   Fourth caricature of Adolf Hitler. The label reads Adolf H. Painter 1889-1945. Signed 'Guust 45.' Size: W 32 cm x H 50 cm. All caricatures are works of art made of food stamps on cardboard in its original frames. The frames are closed on the back with pieces of newspaper from the war. I leave it to the buyer to decide about framing. Now this is a very rare find.

48 Star Crocheted Homemade American Flag, WWII Era, 1941-1945
Located in York County, PA
48 star, crocheted, antique american flag of the wwii era (1941-1945), a beautiful, homemade example, with a red, white, & blue hoist and flower-like stars: Crocheted American flag of the WWII era (U.S. involvement 1941-1945), with some interesting and beautiful features. Made entirely of cotton, the flag’s most notable attribute is the red, white, and blue color of its hoist. This was carefully stitched to the canton and the striped field with white cotton floss or yarn. The 48 crocheted stars are appliquéd to a length of navy blue plain weave cotton. With pierced centers, note how these more closely resemble flowers than stars, tipped this way and that on their vertical axis. Large, with respect to the canton on which they are placed, note how these crowd their boundaries and overlap into the field. The elongated format of the flag is also of interest and contributes to the bold presentation, as do the strong colors. Most crocheted flags are smaller than this one, or date to a much later period (namely the 1976...
