Abdul again
Description
This is the original poster 'Abdul again', for an Australian show produced in 1942 at the non labour prisoner of war camp, Fort 15, Stalag 20A. Created with a strong graphic design, including decorative text, blocks of black and red, there are pictures of men in uniform, scantily clad exotic looking women, while 'Abdul' is an Arabic man, who wears a turban and wields a sword.
