Content note: Caricatures of the Axis leaders, one catalogued as Tojo. This object is shown as it was published. Why
More Production (Snowball over the Axis Leaders)
A giant snowball lettered 'MORE PRODUCTION' rolls down a slope toward three running or sprawled cartoon figures: one in a military tunic and round spectacles (catalogued as probably Tojo), one with a toothbrush moustache, and one stout figure face down. The Axis leaders are drawn as panicking caricatures, so the picture asserts the outcome that the slogan asks workers to produce.

Tears along the folds hide parts of the large lettering in the scan; the words are read from the intact portions. The imprint number is small but legible.
