A Wartime Italian Propaganda Postcard by Gino Boccasile

A postcard, measuring 105x150mm, near mint condition. It shows a drawing of three soldiers. Behind them is the Italian word for “Win!”. Below it says: “For the new social order, for civilization.” It is a postcard for the armed forces, and it is tax free for Italy and its colonies.

Footnote:

The picture was drawn by illustrator Gino Boccasile (1901–1952). Early in life, he lost his left eye, but nevertheless became a successful artist. Boccasile was a supporter of Mussolini and the fascist idea. He drew propaganda material for the state and for the Italian SS Division, which he joined.
