Leningrad Women Fighters WWII USSR
Original vintage World War Two Soviet propaganda poster - Faithful to the duty and honour of the land defending their own with fathers and brothers Leningrad women go into battle together / Верные долгу и чести края защищая свои С отцами и братьями вместе идут Ленинградки в бои - featuring a young lady in military uniform tending to a wounded soldier with a bandage around his head whilst holding up a pistol gun in her other hand, carrying a medical Red Cross bag around her shoulder, in front of a battle scene showing army soldiers in uniform on a hill and a dead Nazi German soldier on the ground with explosions behind them and smoke rising from the city skyline on the horizon, the bold black text below. The Siege of Leningrad (now St Petersburg) was a military blockade by Nazi Germany that lasted from 1941-1944, causing destruction to the city and a huge loss of civilian life (more than the combined casualties of America and Britain during the entire war). Excellent condition, minor staining, backed on linen.

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.
