Vintage Chinese Propaganda Posters
I’ve written about Maopost.com before and revealed some sample prices for their posters. I just discovered that they have a section called “Poster of the Month.” (More like Poster of the Quarter, but that’s OK because the guy who runs the site is French.) Anyway, the posters are pretty fascinating to review if you have an interest in Chinese history and culture.
This poster is part of the “Learn from Daqing” campaign. Daqing was China’s first major oilfield (opened in 1963). I think about Daqing quite often while stuck in Beijing’s bumper-to-bumper traffic. ;-)
