Title: China Chairman Mao Zedong Album 100 Historical Pictures
Description: 0. Hardcover. Photographic Image, This undated red clamshell album includes 100 Chairman Mao photos. Photo size: 12cm x 18cm (4.75"x7"). About fine condition. The Cultural Revolution which took place between circa1966 and 1976 was a social/ political movement. Mao Tse Tung, then Chairman of the ruling Communist Party started this movement to reinforce strict communist dogma. Capitalism and traditional Chinese culture were to be obliterated. Photos & posters were used to denounce people as opponents of the Revolution. Red Guards (pupils and students who swear loyalty to Mao and his Little Red Book) destroy anything that is branded 'old' and eliminate people considered 'rightists'. This propaganda reinforced basic principles and was directed towards issues as they arose locally or nationally. The Cultural Revolution plunges China into turmoil and internal strife; the country is in chaos, but the photos & posters only show enthusiasm. Near Fine.
