Give Bread To The Revolution Soviet Union Communism

£1,750.00

Original antique Soviet propaganda poster - Give bread to the revolution! Peasant! Your harvest has been harvested for a long time, have you calculated the surplus? How do you plan to dispose of it? Think about it comrade: before you are two states: the Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Republic and Denikin's Landlord-General Kingdom. Think about who you should go with? Who is your friend and who is your enemy? Colourful design featuring a countryside view with windmills, trees and farms and horse drawn carts laden with produce walking along paths leading down each side to the entrance of a walled city below, the text in stylised lettering with illustrations showing the difference of life under the communist Red Army on the left and under the White Army on the right, depicting the peasant farmers working on the land under the Russian military leader Anton Denikin (1872-1947) beating them and taking the products of their labour compared to the Soviet state flying red Soviet flags and paying them fairly for the work, the captions reading - The Soviet government gave you the landowner's land. What to do with Denikin's land? The Soviet government pays for bread in money and goods. The generals and constables will collect the landowner's losses from you, take an indemnity and pay with whips - and the text below - Hand over your bread to the Workers' and Peasants' government, comrade! Hurry to the collection points! Your bread is necessary for the Red Army which, enduring thousands of hardships, defends your freedom and lands. Your bread will feed the workers who, exhausted, prepare products for the Red Army, the city and the countryside. It is also necessary for the peasants of the hungry provinces. Hurry up, comrade! Remember, the Tsarist generals, merchants and landowners will get their bread if you don't support the Red Army and the workers! Published by the State Publishing House, Moscow. Good condition, creasing, tears, small paper losses on edges, minor staining, printing errors.

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.
