    Chinese Cultural Revolution Poster: American Imperialism must be Defeated…
    Titled "American Imperialism must be defeated, the people of the world will achieve success", this poster from 1968 shows the resolve of the people. During the Cultural Revolution China positioned itself as the leader of the 3rd world countries and set up America as the enemy. This poster portrays the PLA soldier leading the people of Africa, Latin America and Asia. Approximate size: 31" x 21.5".
    This is an original 1968 Cultural Revolution and for its age is in great condition. There are no tears or pin-holes, there is some yellowing from age.
    There are very cheap copies of the original posters being sold from China. If you just want a copy for the dorm room wall they are fine but if you want an original poster from the Cultural Revolution that increases in value over time this poster is it.
    A letter, similar to the one attached but customized for this poster and buyer, will be included with the purchase.
    I started traveling on business to China in 1982 and after many trips found a shop in Beijing (business card attached), which sold original Mao memorabilia from which I purchased this and many other posters. I sold many of them but came across a bunch that I had packed away in storage and am now selling.
