Historical context: interesting poster design that connects the beginning of the communist regime in Czechoslovakia and its advanced state in 1982.
In the upper part of the poster we can see the metro, specifically its newly built and at that time modernly serviced part.
A detail that catches the eye at first sight is the now iconic lining of the Prague metro, designed by Jaroslav Otruba (1916-2007).
In the lower part of the poster, which is separated from the upper part by a distinctive red flag, we can see the image of the first communist czechoslovak president Klement Gottwald (1896-1953).
The red flag, which symbolizes communism and the Soviet Union, thus creates a connection between the pioneers of the regime and the achieved goals of socialism through the generation active in the 1980s.
