Souvenir from Israel: Six-Day War Political Cartoon Booklet, Israel, 1967
A scarce Israeli political cartoon booklet published in 1967, immediately after the Six-Day War. Souvenir from Israel presents ten full-page satirical drawings by F. Mauruber, framing the war through caricature, ridicule, and postwar Israeli triumphalism.
Printed in Hebrew and English, the booklet turns the political theater of 1967 into a sequence of comic tableaux. Gamal Abdel Nasser, King Hussein, King Faisal, Charles de Gaulle, U Thant, Alexei Kosygin, the United Nations, the Arab League, and other figures appear as exaggerated actors in a regional drama shaped by war, diplomacy, humiliation, Cold War pressure, and Israeli military victory.
The work is not neutral documentary material. It is propaganda, souvenir, satire, and visual memory at once. Its humor depends on the defeated Arab body, the exposed politician, the trapped diplomat, and the theatrical collapse of anti-Israel alliances. As an object, it sits between tourist ephemera and wartime political print culture, preserving how the Six-Day War was quickly aestheticized, sold, and remembered through popular Israeli graphic language.
