An Original Vintage Folded Russian World War II Poster (measures 15 3/4" x 23 3/4" [40 x 60 cm]) (Learn More) Let's Celebrate Every Day With a New Victory of Labor! (literal translation of the Russian title), the 1944 Russian World War II (WWI) Home Front poster (with a tagline that translates to "Today the plant gave the front 200% of the plan") encouraging workers to increase productivity in order to help the war efforts, and featuring Kokorekin art of a woman working in a factory that literally doubled its production. Artist: A. Kokorekin Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Russian poster! It is one of a remarkable collection of 35 Russian posters we are currently offering (a very few are from non-Russian countries that were once somewhat part of Russia). These are among the most rare Russian posters there are, from the early 1920s through 1946. Not only have we only auctioned one of the 19 before (the other 18 we have NEVER auctioned), but in all our years of auctioning, we have only auctioned a couple of dozen Russian posters from the 1920s, and a slightly larger amount from the 1930s, and a slightly larger amount from between 1940 and 1946! Nineteen of these posters are from movies, and there are also circus posters, war posters, and others. The one common denominator to all these posters is that they have really interesting images, always completely different from those of non-Russian posters for the same movies or subjects. Just like posters from Europe, posters from Russia from World War II and before are extremely rare, surely because of the lack of paper during World War II, which caused them to recycle almost all old paper, but Russian posters are even more rare, because so few posters made it out of Russia after World War II, due to the Cold War. This is a wonderful opportunity to obtain these incredibly rare and striking Russian posters, and many of them might not be offered again for sale or at auction for many years! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has light surface paper loss and some separation at the center crossfold (repaired with tape from the back). It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and after a simple linenbacking the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
