Unemployment Fund – Rudi Deutsch
"Unemployment Fund! / We are responsible for one another – today guarantees tomorrow!" (Hebrew), poster illustrated by Rudi Deutsch. Tel-Aviv: "Ahdut" Printing Press, [1933].
A fine poster, printed in blue and red. In the center, a figure of a man pointing at the inscription "We are responsible for one another" while his other hand holds scales. One pan of the scales is inscribed "1933", and the other, the outweighing one, carries the inscription "1927" and a row of figures. On the arm connecting the two pans, an inscription "Today guarantees tomorrow!" Below the illustration: comparison between the number of workers and number of unemployed during the years 1927 and 1933 (in 1933 the number of workers doubled, and the number of unemployed was down to zero). 62.5X94 cm. Good-fair condition. Folding marks and creases. Restored tears. Open tears, professionally restored, at upper and lower parts of poster (some damage to text).
From the collection of Dr Simon Cohen.
