Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster, on Linen Mount

Rows of faces, red armbands, and a block of text underneath.

Chinese printers made this Cultural Revolution poster in ink on paper in China in the 20th century, on a linen mount. Posters like it, commonly associated with 1966 to 1976, were often printed in black and white for wall display. Dozens of figures in caps and work jackets cluster in the picture, several holding small books. Below, a paragraph of characters is set in a neat block, with a signature at the right.

About 24 by 34 inches, wider than tall. A crowd scene in crisp monochrome.
