About this Item
Elephant folio. 4 plates. Tan paper portfolio with grey-blue lettering on the front cover. Signed with a dated inscription by the artist in ink on the interior front cover, given to a recipient in Osnabruck, where the author was living at the time. This portfolio collects 4 loose plates of colorful caricatures by Polish artist Stanislaw Toegel (1905-1953). Each plate finely printed in color offset lithography, measures 12 3/4 x 8", is tissue-guarded and mounted on captioned heavy stock grey paper. The lively images satirize the entitled behavior and mentality of Polish soldiers in exile, post war, displaying them strutting and ogling women. The images are captioned underneath in Polish, and are titled "Boys Like Razors", "Sorry! I am Not Fraternizing", " The Whole World Belongs to Us . and All Coffee Plantations", and "It's a Pity to Blink. Mr. Shooter", respectively. Toegel is most famously known for his other two works of caricature produced around the same time, "Hitleriada Furiosa" and "Hitleriada Macabra", also from the same publisher. Publisher's advertisements printed on the interior back cover. There two additional loose duplicate plates, one of the third plate and one of the fourth. Captions and text in Polish. Portfolio with minor bumping and rubbing to extremities, and a small stain on the back cover. Small stain at the top of the interior front cover. Minor smudging to the top right corner of the final plate. Portfolio and plates all in vg+ to near fine condition overall. Portfolio protected in modern mylar. Scarce. Seller Inventory # 48391
