Grotesque caricatures of Tojo, Mussolini and Hitler huddle over a plundered map and a heap of labelled strategic materials, yet discover that none of the occupied countries supplies war-grade asbestos. The copy explains the mineral’s importance to tanks, trucks, ships and aircraft, contrasts the United States’ limited domestic production with sources across the United Nations, and promotes Asbestos Limited’s importing and processing expertise. Signed and dated 1942 in the image, the full-page advertisement appeared in Fortune in April 1943 and combines commercial history with the biting anti-Axis visual language for which Szyk became renowned.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53723299348827,"sku":"P-8-007017","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/9583\/1643\/files\/P-8-007017a.jpg?v=1785944816","url":"https:\/\/www.antiquemapsandprints.com\/products\/the-thieves-got-no-asbestos-hitler-mussolini-tojo-arthur-szyk-advert-1943-p-8-007017","provider":"Antiquemapsandprints.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
