Print, Design for a Book Cover, "Quack Quack", 1935
This is a Print. It was designed by E. McKnight Kauffer and published by Hogarth Press. It is dated 1935. Its medium is lithograph. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
Kauffer’s design for the British Union of Fascists appears to be an outlier. He soon became vocal in his disdain for fascism, most potently through his designs for antifascist literature and organizations. The mocking humor of Kauffer’s cover for Quack Quack compares Mussolini and Hitler with a statue of a Hawaiian war god. For the catalog cover of the exhibition Fascism & War, Kauffer has released the clenched fist of aggression into an open palm symbolizing peace.
It is credited Gift of Mrs. E. McKnight Kauffer.
Its dimensions are
18.4 × 12.2 cm (7 1/4 × 4 13/16 in.)
It is signed
Printed in script, in black ink, lower right: EMcKK
