October Eisenstein Ruklevsky Stenberg Brothers Constructivism
[ON RESERVE PENDING PAYMENT] Rare original vintage part of an 8-piece poster for the film October designed by the renowned Soviet artists and graphic designers the Stenberg Brothers (Vladimir 1899-1982; Georgii 1900-1933), and Yakov Ruklevsky (1884-1965). The movie was directed by the pioneering Soviet film director Sergei Eisenstein (1898-1948), and Grigori Aleksandrov (aka Mormonenko, 1903-1983), made to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Russian Revolution. This dramatic part of the poster features a sailor wearing a cap marked Aurora looking out to the viewer, depicting the moment when a blank shot was fired under Lenin's instruction from the ship Aurora signalling the start of the October Revolution on 25 October 1917 (using the "old" Julian Calendar, which is 7 November using the "new" Gregorian Calendar). Very good condition, light creasing, small restored tears.

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.
