(literally translates to "This is How the Scoundrels Worked!"), the 1919 Hungarian political poster acknowledging the fall of the Hungarian Soviet Republic. The Hungarian Soviet Republic was formed on March 21, 1919 by a group of Hungarian communists who were living in exile in Moscow, but who returned to Hungary after the end of World War I. They rose to power on the basis of several false promises, most notably that they would have support from Russia, and that they would restore Hungary to the size it was prior to World War I. Instead, they instituted a virtual Reign of Terror throughout Hungary, causing unimaginable suffering and terror. Naturally, this proved very unpopular, and this communist government (the second Soviet state in history after Russia) only remained in power for four months and ten days, and on August 1, 1919, the leaders of the government fled to Paris and it collapsed. A new right wing government took control in Hungary, and after repelling an invasion from Romania, Miklos Horthy became the "Regent of the Kingdom of Hungary", and he commissioned a leading graphic designer, Manno Miltiades, to create this poster, which was published by the Ebredo Magyarok Egyesulete (EME, which translates to "Association of the Awakening Hungarians"). This poster features extremely graphic art of a severed head on a bloody cross with a knife going through the eye socket, with a red star above it, symbolic of the short-lived Soviet regime. The poster was published to show how terrible the Hungarian Soviet Republic had been, and to show how much better the new government would be. In fact, the new government was strongly anti-Semitic, and one of its chief goals was to "protect the Hungarians from the Jews", and under Horthy's leadership, they became one of the Axis countries, and fought with the other Axis countries during World War II! Artist: Manno Miltiades Important Added Info: Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thin paper backing, it can be sent rolled (however, it will be rolled with the image outward, because paperbacked posters should always be rolled that way, while linen posters are always rolled with the image inward), and it will likely need to be sent in a 6" tube, because rolling it more tightly might damage the poster. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and non-U.S. posters, and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards.

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had darkened along the folds and in the borders, and there was paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds and small paper loss at the top crossfold. There were some extra creases and areas of paper loss on the bottom crossfold, with a lesser amount on the rest of the folds. There were a few tears and areas of paper loss in the borders, with more paper loss near the middle of the left blank border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was paperbacked in a "minimalist" fashion. Restoration was performed to the paper loss, but without really attempting to hide it, just to replace the missing paper. The darkening was not addressed, but the poster displays quite well in spite of these defects (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
