And so my three months are up and I have completed the project: to compile and research a catalogue of the British Library’s Chinese propaganda posters. So what have I found out?

The posters date from between 1950 and 1982, with the vast majority having been published in the mid-1960s, just before the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976), largely thanks to a couple of sets of what I have loosely described as ‘public information’ posters, dating from 1965. One set deals with what to do in the event of an enemy air raid, and the other with meteorological and agricultural observations.Read more&#160;- See more at: http://britishlibrary.typepad.co.uk/asian-and-african/2016/01/the-british-librarys-collection-of-chinese-propaganda-posters-an-overview.html#sthash.Mk1jDiLu.Fqoj6KPE.dpuf
