CHINA – MAO ZEDONG – TWO VINTAGE PHOTOGRAPHIC EXHIBITION PRINTS – 1970s

Interesting group of two vintage black-and-white photographic prints depicting Mao Zedong, believed to originate from a travelling exhibition in China during the 1970s.

One photograph shows a well-known portrait of young Mao Zedong, while the other depicts Mao in later life speaking at a podium with several microphones.

According to the provenance information accompanying the photographs, they were used in a travelling exhibition which toured Hebei Province, China, during the 1970s. This exhibition history has not been independently documented.

The photographs are interesting examples of historical Chinese political imagery and exhibition material from the Cultural Revolution era.
