Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster

Sunburst on top, a small crowd at the bottom, red type at the base.

Printers in China made this Cultural Revolution poster in ink on paper in the 20th century. Posters of the period, commonly associated with 1966 to 1976, often show a radiant central portrait over a group of people. A portrait in a peaked cap sits within a ring of fine red rays at the top. Below, several figures in work clothes and caps, some holding small red books, reach forward at the left.

About 30 by 21 inches. Bright from a distance, and detailed up close.
