Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster, on Linen Mount

Red banner at the top, tools and rifles at the bottom.

This Cultural Revolution poster was printed in ink on paper in China in the 20th century and is mounted on linen. Posters of this period, commonly associated with 1966 to 1976, were often produced for groups and institutions to announce meetings and events. A small portrait sits in a red upper panel above several lines of bold white and black characters. Below, a row of figures leans forward, holding raised implements. Small text lines fill the lower margin.

About 33 by 23 inches. Graphic, orderly, and made to be read from across the room.
