Description
Pravda proti sili / boyem proti zla [Truth Against Might / Fight Evil], a Ukrainian-language poster published by the Kiev branch of the All-Ukraine Publishing House, Kiev, 1920. 76 x 53.5 cm.
The caption for this allegorical “David vs. Goliath” poster came from the Ivan Franko’s popular poem Moses (1905). Its curious design may even pique the interest of collectors not interested in the Soviet propaganda — how about “A Ukrainian 1920 poster featuring a Zeppelin” for a title?
The poster is listed in Butnik-Siversky, and is the online catalog of the posters collection of the Russian State Library, in both cases without an attribution.
An interesting, albeit obscure detail: on this poster, the word “State” is missing from the name of the publisher. According to the Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine, “All-Ukraine Publishing” was the publisher’s name chosen in 1919, the word “State” was added to it at some point in 1920. Thus, we can state with certainty that this poster was produced before the poster offered as lot 15.
