“This unique collection includes propaganda posters printed by the Organization of Solidarity with the People of Asia Africa and Latin America (OSPAAAL), founded in Havana Cuba in 1966 as a political movement to fight imperialism. One of them is a rare foldout poster that opens up to depict Richard Nixon as a vampire (below). These Cuban posters are primarily hand-printed silkscreen posters so the print runs were low,” said Kirill Kalinin, founder of AntikBar.
