Title: My Propaganda Posters
Post by: Desperada on November 17, 2018, 06:22:51 PM
Hey everyone!

New to the forums, and I finally had a chance to get some images together from my collection. Pleased to meet you all!

I mostly collect propaganda posters from around the world. My primary interest is Soviet posters, but I also have posters from America, Canada, China, Vietnam, Germany, and North Korea.

Below are a few of them!

Small format Canadian WW2 Poster:

Post-war Vietnamese Poster. Roughly translated as: Uncle Ho says we will win!

Just a small portion of my collection as an introduction!

Probably about 5-6 years now.

I've officially run out of wall space...  :(

Welcome, Desperada!

Did you join this forum a couple years back and drop off, and are now re-joining?

I think we may have corresponded about a "Mexico por la libtertad" propaganda poster if so.  If you are the same person, I finally did track down a copy of my own!

I agree, Okie.

That Nixon poster is a propaganda poster to a T.

Amazing artwork, too.

Wow!  Love those Vietnamese posters.  I primarily collect Soviet-era and Eastern European film posters so I've managed to pick up a few propaganda posters over the years as well.  These Vietnamese posters remind me of Cuban posters -- rich, colorful oil based ink screen prints. 

Please share more Desperada!

Probably about 25 framed, with ~18 on the walls. Maybe about 70 more stored.

Back with some more posters for your viewing pleasure!


Vietnam - Three Generations of American Presidents
This poster is a critique of American foreign policy based on the three monkeys: Hear no evil. Speak no evil. See no evil.

Soviet Union - Belorussian Language - Beware Western Radio Broadcasts! (rough translation)
Warning people of the danger of listening to foreign radio broadcasts, associating them with poisonous fascist propaganda.

Canada - To Victory
Simple enough patriotic WW2 poster playing on the imagery of a Canadian Beaver fighting alongside the British Lion.

Superb posters Desperado. I have to maintain strict discipline in collecting movie posters as I could easily be swayed into collecting other genres such as propaganda. In the early 1990's I purchased very cheaply around 40 original Cuban propaganda posters from a government office stockpile - sadly there were no Vietnam War posters remaining and most of the subject matter related to conflicts/revolutions from the eighties.
