This is an anti-Communist propaganda poster issued by the French organization Paix and Liberté (Peace and Liberty) to promote its belief that world peace was threatened by Communism. The brutish, tattooed figure, “Jo-Jo the Dove,” holding a chain mace (spiked ball on a chain) in one hand and a dove on a string in the other, is a caricature of Josef Stalin. The dove is based on the peace dove designed in a lithograph by Picasso for the International Peace Congress held in Paris in 1949. It was adopted by Peace and Liberty in the early 1950s in much of its imagery.
