Chinese Cultural Revolution Lithograph

A man with a white headband glances back over his shoulder, rifle low, in rolling smoke.

This cultural revolution lithograph is from China, and dates to the 20th century. It is ink on paper. The Cultural Revolution in China lasted roughly from 1966 to 1976, and during those years posters and prints were used widely to carry political messages. Two figures in a close crop, one in a cap, the other in a grey-blue jacket with orange shading, a long rifle across the foreground. Billowing tan smoke fills the background, with caption in small type below. It is 10.25 inches wide and 7.5 high.

A look over the shoulder that the whole picture builds toward.
