Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster

Little red books by the stack, and a border of factories and fields.

Chinese printers of the Cultural Revolution made this poster in ink on paper in China in the 20th century. Prints that framed a central scene with smaller panels of industry and farming were a common format. At the center three figures hold up little red books above a heap of the same, with a portrait raised behind them. Side panels show tractors, produce and goods, and a strip of small scenes runs along the bottom.

About 30 by 42 inches. A whole five-year plan in one frame.
