Approx. 17 x 22 1/2 in. 

An antisemitic propaganda poster dominated by a photographic portrait of United States Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr. (1891-1967). Surrounded by piles of cash and gold coins, he smiles as Uncle Sam deposits more coins into his arms. From a prominent Jewish family in New York City, Morgenthau served as Secretary of the Treasury during most of FDR's administration. He was a major architect of the New Deal, the Lend-Lease Act, and the plan to deindustrialize Germany after the war, known as the "Morgenthau Plan."

The design was displayed in the "Grand Anti-Masonic Exhibition" that ran from 22 October 1941 until 19 January 1942 in Belgrade, in Nazi-occupied Serbia. The exhibition was financed by the Germans with the support of collaborationist leader Milan Nedić and organized by former members of the fascist Yugoslav National Movement (Zbor). 

The title of the exhibition sought to expose alleged Judeo-Masonic and Communist conspiracies for world domination. Artworks were virulently antisemitic,  dehumanizing Jews and seeking to justify their extermination. Included as part of the exhibition, over 60,000 copies of 20 different posters were also distributed to Serbians.
