🇳🇴 Some posters from Norway for #Nasjonaldagen ImageImageImageImage
“Down with arms!” – 🇳🇴 #Norwegian poster published by the Labour Party in 1930 showing a worker’s hand smashing a pile of weapons. The artist was Niels Røhder, who designed a few other cool political posters through the 30s - mostly for the Labour Party Image
"Liberators" – 🇳🇴 Poster designed by Harald Damsleth, Norwegian artist sympathetic to the Nazis and the far-right Nasjonal Samling party. It shows a grotesque incarnation of the USA trampling Europe Image
(I actually wrote a messy mini-blog about this poster last year if anyone's interested) medium.com/@propagandopol… ImageImage
🇳🇴 May Day poster (1935) by the Workers' Youth League, Norway's largest political youth organisation, affiliated with the Labour Party and founded in 1927. The poster shows Prime Minister Johan Nygaarsvold, who led the country from 1935 until the Nazi occupation in 1940 Image
"Help from England" – 🇳🇴 Another Damsleth poster showing the Norwegian flag forming in the flames of a burning city. After the German invasion Britain attacked a number of cities in Norway, so the gist of this poster is: "help" from England = destruction of your homes Image
More info on this poster from Reddit: "Note the use of the 7 in the H. This was the monogram of King Haakon VII, exiled in England and heading a Government-in-Exile, which was used by the resistance as a symbol." reddit.com/r/PropagandaPo…
"Out of the crisis! All people to useful work" – 🇳🇴 Another election poster from the 1930s, this one for the liberal Venstre Party, featuring jubilant naked man facing sun out at sea Image
Continuing the theme of jubilant nakedness / beach sun-staring:

"Either / Or" – 🇳🇴 Poster by Harald Damsleth for Nasjonal Samling showing, to the left, jubilant naked man with family facing sun (a Nasjonal Samling logo) out at sea, and to the right the horrors of Bolshevism Image
"NO!" – 🇳🇴 #Norwegian anti-communist poster (ca. 1940) showing a hammer-sickle-star branded hand tearing at the Norwegian flag while being zapped by the NO.

#Norway Image
🇳🇴 Election poster (1933) by the Fatherland League, an anti-communist organisation during the interwar period in #Norway.

(Btw I'm pretty sure I've posted most of these already but fuck it)

'Does the bicycle make women cruel?' — American cartoon published in the Los Angeles Herald newspaper (13 June, 1897) showing a woman callously cycling over another. Image
The cartoon illustrated an article about an alleged 'new mania which is afflicting women who ride bicycles', with the author reporting on cases of the mania developing in France.


Image
Image
Image
Image
'The physicians found that the first known case of the mania developed last January … That it was cycling that brought the mania on there seems no question. Only wheelwomen have been afflicted with it, and oddly enough, in every instance, they have been over 30 years of age'. Image
