The bottom margin shows information about the publisher including the number of prints in circulation (just 3000 copies, a tiny number by
Soviet standards) and the retail price of 1 Ruble (a typical cheap price from the Soviet era, before the runaway inflation that hit Soviet,
and later Russian economy starting from the early 90s). This series of posters was published in 1990 ahead of the following year's upcoming
30th anniversary of the Gagarin's space flight. The posters were apparently created as educational tools, to be displayed in schools,
libraries, museums etc.

The colors are strong, not faded.
Please note that it will be shipped rolled in a sturdy cardboard box.
