DANISH FREE PRESS SOCIETY

Now you can ensure an exclusive printing of our era’s famous image

Who does not remember the Mohammed crisis? Violence and trouble, trade boycott, burned embassies, over 100 deaths during violent demonstrations, death threats against the artists and editors. All this as a result of the Jyllands-Posten’s decision to publish 12 cartoons of Prophet Muhammed, 30 september 2005.

Now is your chance to own an exclusive reproduction of this icon which has not previously been put up for sale. In collaboration with Kurt Westergaard, The Press Freedom company printed a limited run of 1,000 copies. Each print is individually numbered and signed by the artist. The image is printed in lysbestandige colors and fine paper size 42 x 21.5 cm. We provide a solid tube.

We pay for shipping and postage. Proceeds from the sale goes to Free Press Society’s struggle for freedom of expression.

Especially one of the drawings elicited a world covered the Islamic fury and has since acquired the status of today’s iconic image: Kurt Wester’s drawing of the Prophet with a bomb in a turban. The picture got Kurt Westergaard world fame, but also he has since then been forced to live under constant police protection. Despite threats and actual attempted murder planned by Islamists, he has never expressed any regret and never said sorry to be a free artist.
