Russian Civil War Poster, 1922-28, Offset Print by AkhRR, Association of Artists of Revolutionary Russia, artist signed.

Measures 14 x 10 ½", printed on fine-quality paper. The artist's name, V. Kostyanitsyn (В.Н. Костяницын), is printed under the image and is handwritten at the lower right-hand corner of the artwork. The poster is accompanied by a verse entitled "Comrades, on Me!" and glorifying the bloody drive of the Red brigade, led by the female worker in red. Published by the AKhRR Publishing Workshop, circulation 20,000 copies.

The poster bears the ink stamp of ЦГАОР, Russian abbreviation for the Central Archive of October Revolution, at the right-hand upper corner.

In very good condition. The paper is mostly wrinkle-free, showing mild fraying to the right and left edges, and a crease running along the top edge which can be ironed out, if desired. The multi-color offset print of it shows some blurriness due to imprecise application but the colors are vibrant and fresh

The poster was created and published by the AKhRR Publishing Workshop, the Association of Artists of Revolutionary Russia, one of the large but short-lived unions of Soviet artists, masters of graphic arts and sculptors, enthused by the communist ideology and supporting the Soviet Power. AKhRR was disbanded in 1932, and was the forerunner of the Artists' Union of the USSR.

Please note that the pen in our photo is for size reference.

Please note that the poster will be shipped rolled, in a sturdy cardboard mailing tube.
