70 To the Department of Cultural Policy at the Reichsprotektor in Bohemia and Moravia e.g. Freiherr von Gregory Prag Czernin-Palais Dear Sir von (regory, Mr. ftaatssretär gave me the order, in agreement with your department, to rename the preparatory work for the planned exhibition of political cartoons and I ask you for your kind support, v. and your agreement to carry out this preparatory work. Since particular attention is paid to the political caricature in these days and Prague, with its infamous Ménes exhibitions at that time, is still in a fresh memory, this exhibition - by the way, it has been offered for a long time in Germany - would have to find the greatest interest in the limits of the Protectorate and take a journey through the Reicn from here. Because of this exhibition, I have already taken a look at the relevant reference for political drawings at the Neichsministeriun for People's Enlightenment and Propaganda, Mr. Dr.Ernst Tiam, and have stomped on the greatest possible readiness. Since I work for wartime For the Ministry of Propaganda and have to deal constantly with Dr. Timm, I have the best opportunity to assemble and collect the material. The exhibition is supposed to be top-notch in any respect.The invitation goes to the best German cartoonists.I allow myself to anticipate self-conception without your intentions, to outline the exhibition briefly: l.Art: politiciscne caricatures of the best german artists from the last 2 - 3 years and the present. 2.Extent: lo - 12 draughtsmen with approximatelyć 12o - 15o works. 3rd place: In conscious abstention: Mánes Pavilion,Prague 4th rooms: 4 - 5 exhibition rooms 5th time: 2nd half of April
