Miltiades Manno: This is How Those Scoundrels Worked! poster, 1919
95 x 63 cm. Fine, restored, backed on Japanese paper.

The poster of Manno Miltiades was made after the fall of the Hungarian Soviet Republic in 1919 and the victory of the National Army led by Miklós Horthy. It is no question that the word 'scoundrels' on the poster refers to the leaders of the regime. The poster presents them as red-handed terrorists. The composition is very aggressive: a cut-off head on a bloody cross stabbed by a sword. The red star identifies the guilty ones without doubt. The graphic artist of a Greek origin was the favourite designer of Governor Miklós Horthy. When the governor marched in to Budapest, his posters covered the walls of the city’s buildings (the famous poster saying ‘Horthy!’, with arms holding a rudder).
The poster was ordered by the ‘Association of the Awakening Hungarians’, an organization from the extreme right. The organization was utterly anti-Semitic whose articulated goal was to ‘protect Hungarians from the Jews’.
