Mappery For the love of maps

Nixon in South East Asia

This one was spotted by Dave Lovell (again!)

“At the House of Illustration https://www.houseofillustration.org.uk/ summer 2019. Nixon as a sinister bald eagle. Love it!”

The image is by Rene Mederos (1971)

In the early 1970s US military forces were engaged in conflict in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. To censure their actions, Rene Mederos transformed President Richard Nixon into a sinister bald eagle, plucking the flaming heart from mainland Southeast Asia
