This postcard features a striking image titled "Le Petit Communiste," a 1990 photograph by Pierre et Gilles. The central figure is a young Soviet soldier dressed in formal military uniform adorned with medals and insignias. Surrounding him is an oval wreath made up of vibrant red roses and green foliage, set against a backdrop of a cloudy blue sky. The soldier's expression is solemn with a tear on his cheek, creating a poignant and evocative composition. The image combines elements of portraiture and symbolic floral framing, reflecting both political and emotional themes. The Soviet star with the hammer and sickle emblem is prominently displayed at the bottom of the wreath, reinforcing the communist context of the subject. This artistic postcard blends historic military imagery with a contemporary photographic style, making it a notable collectible item. On the reverse side, the postcard includes handwritten notes dated 1998, a U.S. postage stamp commemorating the USS Maine, and publisher information crediting Pierre et Gilles along with Galerie Samia Saouma, Paris, and Hirschl & Adler, New York. The postcard was produced by Fotofolio, New York, and offers insight into late 20th-century photographic art and political iconography.
