EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white postcard, dating back to circa 1941, captures the essence of Fascist Italian propaganda during World War II. The image features a young, earnest boy in full uniform, complete with a blackshirt and cap, standing at attention and giving a rigid salute as he passes by a row of flags. The boy's intense gaze and clenched fist convey a sense of unwavering loyalty and devotion to the Italian Fascist regime. The backdrop of the image is filled with a sea of flags, each bearing the emblem of the Fascist Party, symbolizing the collective strength and unity of the Italian people. The title of the postcard, "Passing the Fags," is a reference to the Italian Fascist Party's term for its members, "Fasci," which translates to "bundles" or "groups." This powerful propaganda image was designed to instill a sense of pride and patriotism in the Italian people, encouraging them to support the war effort and the Fascist regime. The use of a young boy as the focal point of the image also served to appeal to the emotions of the audience, as children were often used as symbols of hope and the future in propaganda campaigns. The image is a poignant reminder of the propaganda tactics used during the Fascist era in Italy and the role it played in shaping public opinion and rallying support for the regime. It also serves as a reminder of the dark and divisive period of history that was World War II.
