    Original single-sided Iraqi propaganda leaflet produced during the Gulf War. Printed in English for Coalition soldiers, the leaflet uses the Statue of Liberty, dead civilians, and a direct accusation of aggression to condemn Coalition military action in Iraq.

    Leaflet Number: 102
    Conflict / War: Gulf War
    Year: 1990–1991
    Country / Theater: Iraq and Kuwait Theater
    Language(s): English
    Format: Original printed leaflet, single-sided, blank reverse
    Provenance: Acquired from an Iraqi antiquarian dealer specializing in Gulf War-era military ephemera and printed material.

    Translation:
    Front: “Liberty Stadium cries for help because of your aggression and killing civilians, innocent kids, mothers and olds.”

    Back: Blank reverse.

    Imagery: Front shows the Statue of Liberty standing over dead Iraqi civilians, including children, with a road sign marked “Iraq” in the background. A circular inset shows a weeping face beneath the Statue of Liberty’s crown. The image uses American national symbolism to accuse Coalition forces of civilian deaths.

    Objective: To shame and demoralize Coalition soldiers by framing the war as an attack on Iraqi civilians, using the Statue of Liberty as a symbol of betrayed American ideals.

    Condition: Very good condition. Original field example with light creasing, minor edge wear, faint toning, and small handling marks. Printed image and English text remain clean and clearly legible. Blank reverse shows minor handling wear.
