Posters showed
here are among the best of the best. These master pieces are all
my precious. There are many I haven't yet had time to take
pictures. Please be patient if you want to see good stuff.
It took me years and a good fortune to collect them piece by
piece. I trust that you will appreciate them no matter you are a
collector or not. (Sorry that I have to put a signature on each poster to protect my property rights because many people have been stealing my pictures for business purposes) |

Title: "Prominent
Figures from Different Countries" Year of Publish: 1952 Origin: Shang Hai, China Number of prints: - Size: About 55x75cm ¡@ Notes: Who's prominent? Who's great? What's the
definition in early 50's? For Chinese people at that time, there were no
other options but Mao and Stalin. This kind of who's who poster
can be taken as the first episode of any Chinese propaganda poster
collection. Needless to say, they are among the hardest to
find. In fact, this particular poster comes from a series of about
6-8 varieties (I am really not sure about it and I have only managed to
get hold of 4 varieties, saw another two a couple years ago but did get
them (poor me!) and heard of another 2 so far. |

Title:
"The Successful Launching of the 1st Man-made Earth Satellite is a
Great Achievement of the Thoughts of Mao Ze-dong"
Year of Publish: 1972 Origin: Yun Nan, China Number of prints: - Size: This is a 3-in-1 large size poster in unassembled condition (each panel at about 55x75cm) Notes: 3-panel posters are precious mainly
because: (2) They are generally printed in much smaller quantity; (3) They were not intended for sale but for display in party offices; it was difficult to buy them even in those days. (4) So far, only about 20 varieties of such 3 panel posters had been identified. Will there be more titles? There is no official records found yet. ¡@ |

Title:
"Holding high up the Flag of Proletarian Internationalism!"
Year of Publish: Late 50's Origin: Number of Prints: Size: Special size at about 50x100cm Notes: A understanding woodblock style poster from early 50's. Chinese characters on the flag: "All Proletarians over the World United Together!". It's stunning, straight-forward and symbolic way of expression seems to origin from World War II poster but is more skillful and has much higher artistic appeal. The color of hands represent the colors of races, the whites, the blacks and the yellowish Asians, and the red flag represents the proletarian allied force. Rare to find of course. ¡@ |
