summary
"A protest poster about the pending execution of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg. The image shows the couple strapped into electric chairs. In the fore-ground a hand with a dollar sign cufflink (US imperialism) reaches for the switch while the hand of the proletariat reaches in to stop the execution. A very powerful and successful image.” Helga Prignitz-Poda, El Taller de Gráfica Popular en México (1992) p. 324.
16 x 24 inches (40 x 61 cm).
