"Grotesque Italian, German and Japanese characters" Artist unknown, Possibly September 1940

Catalogue ref: INF 3/1322Links to the Catalogue


Grotesque Italian, German and Japanese characters, shouting into a microphone. Mussolini definitely represents the Italians, for the Nazis – possibly Goering, and for the Japanese, possibly Yosuke Matsuoka, who signed the Tripartite Pact which established the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis on September 26 1940.
