Item Overview
Description
ARTIST: FRANZ KRAUS (1905-1998) SIZE: 23 3/4 x 36 in./60.5 x 91.5 cm DESCRIPTION: Based on a photograph by Alfons Himmelreich, Kraus depicts a Jewish soldier wearing a British Army helmet to announce the Jewish Soldier’s Day, held in April 1941. The event honored the volunteers of the Jewish Yishuv to the British Army and took place three times in Palestine from 1941-1943. The events included parades, public meetings, and sports competitions, which helped raise funds for the soldiers’ families. Kraus grew up in Graz, Austria, and then worked as a graphic designer in Berlin. In 1934, he and his wife immigrated to Palestine before settling in Tel Aviv, where Kraus continued his career in advertising and poster design. This silkscreen poster is hand-signed by the artist. (Modern; War & Propaganda; Jewish Interest)

I had it framed and it has been inhabiting basements and attics ever since. I don't know if it is an original or a copy. Do you know if it is worth anything and where I might sell it? Or would you be interested in a donation of it? Your web site does not seem to have been updated in a couple years so it's hard to tell if the project continues. Thanks for your time Dennis Jett
Dan Walsh to dcjett show details 1:34 PM (17 minutes ago) Hello Dennis, Thanks for writing. Be it copy or be it original the PPPA would be delighted to receive your poster. The PPPA is not tax exempt or anything so your gift would not be deductible or anything. I can tell you that an acknowledgement of your gift would be permanently added to the poster's page at the PPPA and that it would become part of the permanent collection. Many thanks to you for your offer. best, Dan Walsh PS: I was curious as to why you thought the PPPA was not updated recently or if it was even active. I have added posters as recently as yesterday and will continue adding them indefinitely. I often find it amazing to say this but I have about 4,000+ additional posters to add and more arrive every day, either paper copies or jpegs.
