Description

Caricature of SS General Erich vom dem Bach (1899-1972), Commander of all German forces suppressing the Warsaw Uprising of August - October 1944, selecting works of art as 'trophies' to take back to Germany. The print has been mounted on dark grey card. A title in Polish with an English and French translation is printed bottom centre, beneath the image, in gold ink.

The original drawing reproduced in this offset lithograph was created by Polish artist Stanislaw Toegel (1905-1953) while held in a German labour camp at Gotteningen.
