Propaganda Breakfast Poster

from $21.00

The sheep has his newspaper.

The newspaper has its instructions.

The wall behind him says the rest.

This vintage propaganda poster depicts the information diet of the compliant citizen — a suited sheep at his gentleman's breakfast table, morning paper open, the headlines doing exactly what headlines are designed to do. On the wall behind him:

Obey. Consume. Sleep. Repeat.

He does not look up. He never has to. The system works.

Rendered in the style of a 19th-century broadside — flat fills, hard outlines, the visual grammar of official messaging turned against itself. The kind of poster that looked authoritative once. Looks like a confession now.

Printed on museum-quality matte paper sourced from Japan.

Substantial enough to mean it.
