{"product_id":"dit-was-flink-in-1943-maar-ptt","title":"Pay Your Radio License","description":"\u003cp\u003eA remarkable piece of Dutch post-war social history, this poster bridges the trauma of Nazi occupation with the rebuilding of civil society. The clever visual conceit shows a radio hiding beneath lifted floorboards, its dial forming a face that peers out cautiously. This directly references the dangerous act of hiding radios during the German occupation, when listening to Allied broadcasts was punishable by imprisonment or worse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dutch text translates to 'This was brave in 1943 but... pay your radio license now,' a masterful piece of persuasion that acknowledges citizens' wartime courage while redirecting that civic spirit toward supporting the newly free nation's broadcasting system. The modernist illustration style, with its warm earth tones and geometric patterned textile, exemplifies the optimistic yet grounded aesthetic of late 1940s Dutch design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA compelling document that captures a nation's transition from resistance to reconstruction, this poster speaks to universal themes of courage, memory, and civic responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32.75\" x 23.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
