more posters... part 2

There are more posters than on display here. I am currently trying to catalogue and revitalize the lot. Some of them were stored in the basement for almost 30 years and got a bit damaged, but some others survived this with no harm done. So, let's see what else is there...
Some oldie for the starters:

Rzeszow's Vicinity (Land Of Rzeszow)

1962

co-production with photographer H. Grzeda

58 x 84 cm

Teacher's Day

1975

67 x 97 cm

"We manifest unity of the nation and a will to live in peace"
June 22nd (A national holiday)

1978

67 x 97 cm

25th Anniversary of Cracow's Liberation - 1945

1969

56 x 82

This an interesting poster, as it is a reprint of one that was produced in 1964 for 20th anniversary; the only difference is a font style and of course a number. There's only one copy left of the older one.

1917 - 47th Anniversary Of The October's Revolution

1964

58 x 84 cm

One of the more elegant posters related to the Russian revolution topic, as communism symbols - hammer and sickle and a red star - are not prominently displayed, there's only a small star on a rocket. Later on, "the editors" (party people) were insisting on more visible attributes of communism on posters.

"15th Lesser Poland Bicycle Mountain Race 23-27 July 1975"

1975

58 x 84 cm

26th Anniversary of Cracow's Liberation - 18.01.1945

1970

60 x 90 cm




This is a "staple item". Every year there'd always be a poster about "liberation" by Soviet troops, and of course something about Lenin, October revolution anniversary and the imposed by communists national holiday of July 22nd (instead of pre-war November 11th).

A Tribute To The Heroes Who First Opposed  Hitler's Invaders. 

1974

67 x 97 cm



Hitler's invasion was in 1939, but the displayed cross was designed by Soviet-backed Polish government in 1944 and was actually not related to the 1939 events exclusively. 

More of the similar; this poster was directly relating to 1939's lost war campaign. The message reads:

"We will not allow for the rebirth of fascism, we stand as the guardians of peace".

1969

67 x 97 cm

Poland, The Highest Value - July 22nd 

1976

67 x 97 cm
co-production with photographers





There are still more posters to be displayed.
Some of them are pretty rare items today as the printing was limited to 1 - 5 thousands of copies per poster and mostly they were all used up during billboarding campaigns.
