Description from the seller
Original Chinese propaganda poster from 1974 'The situation is gratifying' (Xingshi xiren / the situation is satisfying) by Yan Guiming. We see train travelers from all over China discussing the news in the daily newspaper at Beijing Central Station. This poster is part of the Landsberger Collection under catalog number BG E 13/825.
Condition B+: roll creases in the edges. Image entirely intact. Beautiful/fresh colors.
Shipping: rolled in a sturdy tube with track & trace.
Stefan R. Landsberger (1955-2024) was trained as a sinologist at Leiden University, The Netherlands. Fascinated by totalitarian propaganda, he began collecting Chinese propaganda posters in the 1970s. His collection grew into one of the largest private collections in the world. Having had access to these posters for such a long time, he came to see them as valuable primary sources for research on contemporary Chinese developments. For this reason, Landsberger used them as the basis for his Ph.D. research, which focused on materials published in the 1980s. The results were published as Chinese Propaganda Posters - From Revolution to Modernization (Amsterdam / Armonk: Pepin Press / M.E. Sharpe, 1996, reprinted in 1998 and 2001).
