Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster

A girl soldier with a pack, and a lantern held up behind her.

Chinese presses made this poster in ink on paper in China in the 20th century, during the Cultural Revolution. Young people taking up the duty of their elders were a frequent theme. A woman in an olive uniform with a pack on her back holds a cap against her chest, with a red star on her collar. In an inset above, a woman in a red jacket lifts a small lantern. The sky is soft blue and cream.

About 30 by 21 inches. A stirring pair, quietly colored.
