JF Ptak Science Books Poster Series 1
[This is a 1 meg version of the 16 meg finished version of this cover art.]
- This is the first of the newly-reinstated Poster Production part of this blog. I did many of these some years ago, though they were mostly technical drawings of the B-17 (G!) and such. There are many in the pipeline--there should be one new entry per day.
This is the fantastic artwork for the cover of the pamphlet The General Strike for Industrial Freedom which was printed in Chicago in January 1933 by the Industrial Workers of the World (the Wobblies). The IWW was pretty far left--okay, very far--and was founded in 1905 by Eugene V. Debs, Mary Harris "Mother" Jones, William D. ("Big Bill") Haywood, Daniel De Leon, Thomas Hagerty, Lucy Parsons, and others. By the '30's membership in the organization was off probably an order of magnitude, its heydey more "dey" than "hey", its flash gone.
