"Germany is truly your friend", Gino Boccasile poster for RSI, 1944.  Best regards, JR.

Boccasile poster.

Gino Boccasile (1901-1952), skilled advertising and magazine illustrator turned wartime Fascist/pro-German propagandist.  I have to say that I find his propaganda works a great deal more striking than most of his non-propaganda output.  Apropros the thick glasses - Boccasile was perhaps unfortunate for someone of his talents in having poor eyesight in general, and in having lost one eye in a childhood accident in particular.  Best regards, JR.
