Content note: Leaflet threatening armed punishment after a deadline, with an image of figures struck down by a sword. This object is shown as it was published. Why
"Amnestija do 15. I. 1945 / Po 15. I. 1945" (Amnesty until 15 January 1945 / After 15 January 1945), Slovene Partisan leaflet
A black woodcut-style field is split by a deadline. Under 'AMNESTIJA DO 15.I.1945' a crowd with raised arms stands before the three peaks of Triglav marked 'OF'; under 'PO 15.I.1945' a blindfolded figure of justice with scales and a downward sword strikes at a heap of tumbling figures. The tell is the paired before-and-after panels: leniency is offered only until a date, and the second panel shows the penalty for missing it.
