"Volk van Nederland" is a Dutch propaganda poster created by the Nationaal Comite Handhaving Rijkseenheid around 1947. The poster uses bold text and a strong visual to encourage Dutch citizens to support the Dutch colonial policy in Indonesia. It features the Dutch flag and a crown with the text "Het Indie-Beleid [The Indies Policy] - Kroon en Rijk [Crown and Empire]" to emphasize the importance of maintaining the Dutch Empire and the monarchy's role in its future. This poster aimed to rally support for a policy that was controversial and ultimately failed.
