The Wolfsonian contains the country’s largest collection of twentieth-century German, Italian, and United States political propaganda, including prints, posters, drawings, books and serial holdings, and objects that document the rise and demise of these nations’ fascist movements. The museum’s British and Dutch propaganda holdings are the most comprehensive in the United States. Graphic arts from Russia/USSR, middle Europe (particularly Czechoslovakia and Hungary), and Spain (Spanish Civil War posters) provide important and unusual documentation for the history of propaganda in the twentieth century. Taken together, these collections can contribute to innovative comparisons of shared imagery among countries with very different political systems. Back to Collections Main
