The first edition of the Biró's renowned Horthy-cycle, a graphical documentation of the White Terror in Hungary.
One of the best-known and most uncompromising Hungarian graphic designers at the beginning of the 20th century, creator of the famous image of Social Democrats, the Red Man with Hammer, Mihály Biró (1886-1948) devoted himself early to the leftist social and political ideas. After the fall of the short-lived Hungarian Soviet Republic in 1919, Biró had to flee to Vienna from the terror of revenge, and the right-wing dictatorship led by Miklós Horthy. In Vienna, Biró created the present cycle of twenty shocking colored lithographs, a graphical interpretation of the horror stories told by Hungarian emigrants in Vienna, who reported about the dramatic events of the White Terror and the anti-Semitic pogroms in their homeland. As a result of the publication of his portfolio, a warrant for Biró's arrest was issued in Hungary, he was permanently expelled from the country, and the copies of the folder found in Hungary were destroyed.
