Original 1972 political snapshot photograph showing a large “Vote Communist in ’72” banner displayed across a residential brick building in Rego Park, Queens, New York City. The banner promotes Gus Hall for President and Jarvis Tyner for Vice President, candidates of the Communist Party USA during the Cold War era.
This period photograph captures a rarely documented moment of American political history, particularly notable for its urban New York setting and bold public display. The original handwritten address on the reverse (S. Sherman St., Rego Park, NY 11374) adds strong provenance and authenticity.
