3. Buy a share of a winning loan, Unknown artist, 1923


"The poster is unique to a very short window in time where the man portrayed is not a worker - with the Soviet Union falling apart, the Soviets needed to appeal to small-time capitalists to get the economy moving again." - International Poster

Again this is a poster designed for mass production using minimum colours. It supported modern industrial methods being used in a way the supports the people aiming for utopian ideals. There is an absence of historical reference, this poster is about building for the future.
