Original vintage Soviet propaganda poster featuring an illustration of a USSR spacecraft bearing the red communist flag with a hammer and sickle emblem on it and an American spacecraft with a US flag it blasting against each other and sending a lightning bolt down to a man with a gun barrel for a nose and a missile for a hat below the blue background. One of a series from M Abramov's set of political cartoons No Cold War - Space experiments Political resonance. Artwork by Mark Aleksandrovich Abramov (1913-1994). Excellent condition. The Cold War was a period of geopolitical tension between the Soviet Union with its satellite states (the Eastern Bloc), and the United States with its allies (the Western Bloc) after World War II. The historiography of the conflict began between 1946 (the year U.S. diplomat George F. Kennan's "Long Telegram" from Moscow cemented a U.S. foreign policy of containment of Soviet expansionism) and 1947 (the introduction of the Truman Doctrine). The Cold War began to de-escalate after the Revolutions of 1989. The collapse of the USSR in 1991 (when the proto-state Republics of the Soviet Union declared independence) was the end of the Cold War. The term "cold" is used because there was no large-scale fighting directly between the two sides, but they each supported major regional conflicts known as proxy wars. The conflict split the temporary wartime alliance against Nazi Germany and its allies, leaving the USSR and the US as two superpowers with profound economic and political differences. The Apollo–Soyuz Test Project (ASTP), conducted in July 1975, was the first joint U.S.–Soviet space flight, as a symbol of the policy of détente that the two superpowers were pursuing at the time. It involved the docking of an Apollo command and service module and the Soviet Soyuz 19 capsule. The unnumbered Apollo vehicle was left over from the canceled Apollo missions and the last Apollo command and service module to fly. This mission ceremoniously marked the end of the Space Race that had begun in 1957 with the Sputnik launch.Year of printing: 1976, country of printing: Russia , designer: M. Abramov, dimensions (cm): 48x32.

Original vintage World War Two propaganda poster commissioned by the C.E.M.A. (Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts - later to become the Arts Council of Northern Ireland), it features a painting by the artist Rodrigo Moynihan (1910-1990) titled 'May - A Picnic' and it was originally intended to be hung "where war workers congregate". In 1940, during the Second World War, the Council for the Encouragement of Music and the Arts (CEMA), was appointed to help promote and maintain British culture. Chaired by Lord De La Warr, President of the Board of Education, the Council was government-funded and after the war was renamed the Arts Council of Great Britain. The interest in the arts during World War II led to the first government subsidy of the arts in Britain with the founding of the Arts Council in 1946, championed by Jenny Lee. Moynihan was born in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, in 1910, to Herbert James Moynihan, a fruit broker, and Maria (née de la Puerta). His Anglo-Spanish family moved to London in 1918 and then to Wisconsin. A winter in Rome 1927–1928 inspired him to devote himself to art, and in 1928 he started studying at the Slade School of Fine Art in London. In the 1930s he gained a reputation as a pioneer of abstract painting in England as a member of the Objective Abstraction movement.[4][5] Moynihan was later attracted to social realism and became associated from 1937 with the Euston Road School. War artist Moynihan served in the British Army from 1940 to 1943, first in the Royal Artillery and then doing camouflage work. Following an injury, he was given a full-time salaried commission by the War Artists' Advisory Committee, WAAC, having previously completed a number of short-term contracts for the Committee. He completed a number of portraits of ATS and senior, male, military figures for this contract and also for subsequent shorter WAAC contracts. Moynihan was appointed an Associate Member of the Royal Academy in 1944. After the war, he was professor of painting at the Royal College of Art 1948–1957, and was elected a full member of the Royal Academy in 1954. At this period, he was in demand for official portraits, and executed commissions of amongst others Princess Elizabeth (1946) and Prime Minister Clement Attlee (1947). He changed direction from 1957, resigning from the Royal College of Art and the Royal Academy and returning to abstraction, working outside England in Europe and North America. From 1971 onwards he was inspired to return to figurative painting in the form of large-scale studio still-lives, unordered, unarranged and apparently random. One of these such paintings was, The shelf, objects and shadows - front view (1982–83). This return to figuration also drew him to move back towards portraiture – with portraits of friends leading to renewed commissions by the end of the 1970s. Notable portraits of this period include Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (1983–85; National Portrait Gallery, London) and Dame Peggy Ashcroft (1984; National Portrait Gallery). Year of printing: 1943, country of printing: UK, designer: Rodrigo Moynihan, dimensions (cm): 76x101.5. Good condition, creases and minor tears in margins.

Original vintage sport advertising poster for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich (Munchen). Stylised image of a canoeist by Erich Bauman to promote the Kanu Slalom race held in Augsburg. The 1972 Summer Olympics (German: Olympische Sommerspiele 1972), officially known as the Games of the XX Olympiad, was an international multi-sport event held in Munich, West Germany, from 26 August to 11 September 1972. The sporting nature of the event was largely overshadowed by the Munich massacre in the second week, in which eleven Israeli athletes and coaches and a West German police officer at Olympic village were killed by Black September terrorists. The 1972 Summer Olympics were the second Summer Olympics to be held in Germany, after the 1936 Games in Berlin, which had taken place under the Nazi regime. The West German Government had been eager to have the Munich Olympics present a democratic and optimistic Germany to the world, as shown by the Games' official motto, "Die Heiteren Spiele", or "the cheerful Games". The logo of the Games was a blue solar logo (the "Bright Sun") by Otl Aicher, the designer and director of the visual conception commission. The Olympic mascot, the dachshund "Waldi", was the first officially named Olympic mascot. The Olympic Fanfare was composed by Herbert Rehbein. The Olympic Park (Olympiapark) is based on Frei Otto's plans and after the Games became a Munich landmark. The competition sites, designed by architect Günther Behnisch, included the Olympic swimming hall, the Olympics Hall (Olympiahalle, a multipurpose facility) and the Olympic Stadium (Olympiastadion), and an Olympic village very close to the park. The design of the stadium was considered revolutionary, with sweeping canopies of acrylic glass stabilized by metal ropes, used on such a large scale for the first time.Year of printing: 1971, country of printing: Germany, designer: Erich Baumann, dimensions (cm): 119x84. Good condition, waving, tears and creases in margins.

Original vintage Soviet anti-religious propaganda poster titled "Tsar, Priest and Kulak" and created by the Central Executive Committee in Moscow, 1918. The poster aims at showing kluaks as the supporters of opression, the Tzar and the church. The kulaks were a category of affluent peasants in the later Russian Empire and early Soviet Union, particularly Soviet Russia and Azerbaijan. They were targeted as enemies and large numbers were liquidated by Stalin in the 1930s. The word kulak originally referred to independent farmers in the Russian Empire who emerged from the peasantry and became wealthy following the Stolypin reform beginning in 1906. During the Russian revolution, the label of kulak was used as an epithet for any peasant who resisted handing over his grain to requisitions from the Bolshevik government. During 1929–1933, Joseph Stalin's all-out campaign to collectivize the peasantry meant that "peasants with a couple of cows or five or six acres more than their neighbors" were labeled kulaks. Under the dekulakization policy, government officials violently seized kulak farms and killed resisters, deported others to labor camps, and drove many to migrate to the cities following the loss of their property to the collective. According to the political theory of Marxism–Leninism of the early 20th century, the kulaks were class enemies of the poorer peasants. Vladimir Lenin described them as "bloodsuckers, vampires, plunderers of the people and profiteers, who fatten on famine", and he proclaimed the revolution against such class enemies to liberate poor peasants and farm laborers as well as the proletariat (the much smaller class of urban and industrial workers). Once established, the Soviet command economy required the collectivization of farms and land to allow conversion to large-scale agriculture as part of industrialization.Year of printing: 1918, country of printing: Russia, designer: Unknown, dimensions (cm): 71x53.5. Good condition, paper losses and tears.
