built 288 days ago
'Posters of the Russian Civil War, 1918-1922' is an online exhibition presented by the New York Public Library. This is a medium-sized online image archive, containing "213 posters, placards, and broadsides" and the physical holdings are said to be "one of the largest assemblages of such posters outside of Russia". There is a short introductory text and suggestions for further reading. By clicking on 'See all images' one can browse through all 213 images. Images are presented as thumbnails and larger versions, with the larger version usually being 760 pixels on the longest side. This makes the larger images adequate for study and for use in lectures and presentations. Larger printed versions can be ordered and the website states that these are made "from a very high-resolution print file". It is not certain if these images can be shipped to places outside the U.S. All images in the database are accompanied by full archival details.

Have the courage to tell the administration, ‘Stop this ridiculous policy you have.’ We’re taking sides in a civil war!”
