Khan Academy: Louis Raemaekers, 'Tegen De Tariefwet, Vliegt Niet in 'T Web!'

Curated by ACT

This video [2:05] discusses a poster from 1913 designed and printed in Amsterdam by Louis Raemaekers. This is a dramatic use of very simple means, two colors lithographically printed, a new integrative approach to the combination of image and text. It's a political poster in the form of this giant creepy spider and web, protesting the Tariff Act that the Netherland government had imposed levies on the everyday products featured in the poster.
