Artist: PIERRE BAUDOUIN (1921-1971) Size: 15 x 23 1/8 in./38.2 x 58.7 cm Imp. Dureysen "Yesterday, Strasbourg; Tomorrow, Saigon," announces this poster as a tank rumbles through the jungle near an Angkor-esque temple. It's a shocking reminder of a completely forgotten element of World War II: the 1944-45 bombing campaigns in Southeast Asia, ordered because the French Vichy government's outposts in Vietnam were sheltering Japanese troops and ships. In 1944, the British airdropped Free French operatives into Vietnam, delivering intelligence used for airstrikes for the remainder of the war. The poster is chillingly prescient, of course, of the conflict to come. (WWII)
