Propaganda Poster ERP European Union Cooperation Marshall Plan Woman with Peace
Description
Original vintage propaganda poster for the post-war US sponsored European Recovery Program (1948) known as the Marshall plan. Great design by Italian graphic artist Mario Puppo depicting a woman holding a peace dove in her right hand and a spear in the other. Around her shoulders, arms and head a ribbon is draped with the flags of European countries. In front of her several ears of corn, symbol of abundance and prosperity, pop up from the soil. In the background a industrial plant is depicted. This design received the 4th Prize in the Intra-European Cooperation for a Better Standard of Living poster competition on the theme of cooperation and economic recovery that was held by NATO in Europe for the Marshall Plan. The Marshall Plan (officially the European Recovery Program, ERP) was an American initiative passed in 1948 to aid Western Europe, in which the United States gave over $12 billion (nearly $100 billion in 2018 US dollars) in economic assistance to help rebuild Western European economies after the end of World War II. Replacing the previous Morgenthau Plan, it operated for four years beginning on April 3, 1948. The goals of the United States were to rebuild war-torn regions, remove trade barriers, modernize industry, improve European prosperity, and prevent the spread of Communism. The Marshall Plan required a reduction of interstate barriers, a dropping of many regulations, and encouraged an increase in productivity, as well as the adoption of modern business procedures. Very good condition, faint creases and minor tears in margins. Country: Netherlands, year of printing: 1950s, designer: Mario Puppo, size (cm): 75x55
