GOUDA-DESIGN
Commemorative Plate
- Regina - 1938
"Good Old
Chamberlain"
16.0 cm D
The Munich Agreement, negotiated
at a conference held in Munich, Germany, permitted Nazi Germany
to annex portions of Czechoslovakia's borders mainly inhabited
by German speakers. The agreement was signed in the early hours
of 30 September 1938 but was dated 29 September. Now regarded
as a failed act of appeasement toward Germany and as we know
did not prevent WW2. The British Prime Minister Chamberlain returned
to Britain and delivered his infamous "peace for our time"
speech to crowds in London.
Regina thus produced this plate
to commemorate the event. The plate was painted by Jan Signer
and together with Gouke Bonsel, they designed this type of memorabilia.
With thanks to Joop Nobel for the information.
