Sándor Légrády: The Christmas of 1942 is our fighting soldiers' poster, 1942
95 x 63 cm. Very good, restored.

Sándor Légrády is considered to be the most successful stamp designer of Hungary. Stamps designed by him were in use in about 70 million copies, and he created 111 stamp series. He started designing for the post in the 1930s and he did not cease working until 1987, his death.
He was a successful poster designer in the 1940s, and he was constantly making posters during the years of the war as well. During the war he designed numerous posters propagating the Hungarian heroism. The most known is the one saying ‘Trust him’ from 1943. The poster auctioning now was to support the fighting soldiers, but this piece is nothing like the usual ones, presenting the figures in a classizising manner. It was created for a Christmas charity event, that’s why the national symbols appear as queer Christmas decorations.
