Unknown: Don't Worry! poster, 1919
95 x 63 cm. Fine, fold marks.
The poster is a unique historical relic from 1919, and it promotes the triumphant northern campaign on of the Hungarian Soviet Republic. In 1919, the Romanian troops marched on to river Tisza and the Czech troops occupied important cities of Upper Hungary. This was the point when the leaders of the Hungarian Soviet Republic realized that they had to do something in order to defend the borders of the country, thus they initiated the reorganization of the army. Thousands applied to the Red Army which then launched an attack against the North in May of 1919. The attack was successful, they managed reoccupy important cities and they cut off the Czech and the Romanian army from each other. These results gave grounds for hope however, as soon as the Entente claimed that the Romanian troops would withdraw and the Hungarian leaders could take part in the peace talks, they withdrew the troops, which had tragic results. The leaders of the Republic are being blamed for this, ever since...
The poster bears all the typical characteristics of the propaganda of the Hungarian Soviet Republic: the black and red colours, the simple message expressed by an effective composition, the dominance of the typography. The text and the map tell the message better than any kind of symbol.
