Original Cultural Revolution Poster: Peasants United

Description

Vintage Cultural Revolution Poster: “Peasants United. Workers, farmers are soldiers united.
English translation:
“Peasants United. Workers, farmers are soldiers united. Together, we will liberate Taiwan.”
This is an original poster from the Chinese Cultural Revolution period. I had it in storage for the last few decades and am doing some spring cleaning.
The poster has smiling crowds holding red books while a giant Mao smiles above them- this poster is a classic example of Chinese revolutionary iconography. The sun shines behind “The Great Leader”, and the farmers on the left and factory workers on the right join a sea of red.
For its age the poster is in excellent condition. There is some yellowing from age and some discoloration at the bottom. The poster has been kept in a plastic sleeve for the last almost 30 years to protect it. It is approximately 29.5 inches wide and 20.25 inches high.
A letter, similar to the one attached but customized for this poster and buyer, will be included with the purchase. I acquired
this poster from a shop in Beijing that specialized on Mao/Cultural Revolution memorabilia (business card attached)
There are very cheap copies of the original posters
being sold from China. If you just want a copy for the dorm room wall they are fine but if you want and original poster from the Cultural Revolution that increases in value over time this poster is it.
