Famine Relief Poster Death is Near, For Salvation We Must Give Up the Gold and Silver of the Church, 1921.

Measures 11 ½" x 18", printed on thin low-quality pulpy paper. Published by MOSKUST, circulation 10,000 copies, very small by Soviet standards. With this poster, and others like it, the Bolsheviks justified seizure of precious metals and gems belonging to the Russian Orthodox Church, ostensibly to save the population from starving in the famine created by the Bolsheviks.

In excellent condition. The paper is very lightly wrinkled, mostly along the right edge, otherwise pristine.

Please note that the 1-ft. ruler in our photo is for size reference.
