"8. The 'rabble' group" with a dung heap, upon which the Austrian flag, with a pig wallowing in it, followed by a wheelbarrow with a barrel of manure labelled "Hypocrisy - lies - illegality - treason against the people" and the heading "Enough is enough!

Dimensions of the album 29 x 43.5 cm.An extremely interesting testimony to the political situation in Austria during and immediately after the government of Engelbert Dollfuss, who, rejecting German national socialism, assumed dictatorial powers over the Austrofascist corporate state as chancellor once he had shut down the parliament, establishing strong ties to Italian fascism and granting the Catholic church enormous influence. The scene showing the "executive powers group" makes reference to the persecution of the National Socialists, who had assassinated Dollfuss in the July Putsch while occupying the Chancellery building.Condition: II +
