"No more teeth for this hyena." Early-1980s anti-American East German protest poster adapted from John Heartfield's 1932 photomontage, KRIEG UND LEICHEN - DIE LETZTE HOFFNUNG DER REICHEN ("War and corpses - The last hope of the rich") depicting a snarling hyena in a top hat. The poster replaces the hyena's teetch with white missiles and adds the caption, "USA-Raketen aus Westeuropa raus!" ("USA missiles out of western Europe!"). A rare survival. (Inventory #: 807)
