They Wanted Peace Stalin
Original vintage Soviet film poster for The Great Dawn (Великое зарево / They Wanted Peace), starring Mikheil Gelovani as Joseph Stalin. Dynamic image featuring a young lady in the foreground with a soldier flying a red flag behind her and two soldiers below, one of them playing music on a violin and the other holding a gun and carrying a backpack, the stylised title text in white against the red flag. This 1938 Soviet Georgian film was directed by Mikheil Chiaureli and considered a representation of Joseph Stalin's cult of personality, one of a group of films produced for the 20th anniversary of the October Revolution, which also included Lenin in October and The Vyborg Side (since Sergei Eisenstein's 1928 film October, movies were produced on every decade anniversary of the Revolution). Large size. Very good condition, repaired central fold, minor tears on margins, backed on japanese paper.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £25 for orders placed via our website.
