No, you did not tell me the story about this poster...would love to hear it ... dan Inbox X Dan Walsh http://www.palestineposterproject.org/poster/the-gate-to-the-state On Wed, Ma... 9:36 AM (16 hours ago) Reply Yoram E. Shamir to me show details 1:28 AM (1 hour ago) Well, here it is. My late father always said that he will never work for the communists or the revisionists. When I started to search for Shamir graphic works, I went from one public archive to another to check what Shamir posters do they keep. At Lavon Institute, the archive of the Histadrut, I found 36 posters with the help of a veteran worker. After 36 posters he developed a sense to locate Shamir. One day he says: Hey, here is another Shamie. I said: This is a Revisionist poster. It cannot be Shamir. His answer: Look at the signature . Since then I found 3 more rightists posters, designed by the Shamir Brothers. One of them , thanks to you.
