拍品专文

The image of the dove of peace on a bayonet had been used originally for a photomontage titled "The Meaning of Geneva" reproduced in a 1932 issue of AIZ. Heartfield later revised it for a poster in 1960 as it is offered here. In 1967 a third version with additional text appeared. It read "Peoples, may your children/All be saved from war./Preventing war/Shall be your triumph." Wieland Herzfelde.
