Colour Chinese propaganda poster featuring a happy female peasant operating a water pump which is spraying the surrounding abundent crops, her male companion who looks proudly and happily ahead stands behind her with a shovel. A pipe and a bag of tobacco in his other hand suggest to the viewer that the worker is about to take a well earned rest after a good day's work has been achieved. Behind the couple more water pumps spray water onto the crops. In the back ground a handsome long road bridge terminates at the foot of a mountain on which there is a water reservoir. On the mountain side the slogan ???? [Man can Conquer Nature] can been seen. Powerlines standing amongst the well planned terraced fields complete the feeling of productivity. Very good copy. Text in Chinese and English lower margin. Poster measures 52.8 x 76.5cm. Seller Inventory # 158436

Shipping Terms:

The shipping prices quoted on ABEBooks reflect what we have found to be the "average book". Of course in reality there are many books that do not weigh what an "average book" weighs so there are times when we need to requote shipping, just as there are times when we are in position to refund some of the shipping. Please rest assured we try to get your order to you for a reasonable price, as quickly and as well packed (we carefully pack all of our parcels in book boxes) as possible.
