Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster

One raised hand, a very large crowd, and a lot of red banners.

Printed in ink on paper in China in the 20th century, this large landscape poster belongs to the Cultural Revolution years. Rallies and processions were frequent subjects, shown with banners, flags and masses of marching figures. A tall figure in a dark coat lifts his hand over lines of people holding red streamers. The sky glows orange and yellow. A cream strip at the bottom carries a caption in red characters.

About 30 by 42 inches. Needs a wall with ambitions.
