Description:
Satisfy the Requirement to Submit - with Corn and Potato is a 1955 vintage Hungarian socialist realist agricultural propaganda poster.
Most of the soil in Hungary was nationalized, and the farmers had to work in the common agricultural cooperative. Everyone who produced any kind of crop on his or her soil, had to submit a part of it. This is what they called "Requirement to Submit". The poster tells that the potato should be submitted in 3 days, the corn in 8 days after the harvest.
The design is typical for Socialist Realism.
