Ironically it looks like Mao's head is the sun in the second picture, its just the glare.

Obviously I wrote this post a while ago. I'm bumping it because there HAS to be some interested new members.
I have 3 roughly 12''x14'' (they're in metric units so those are rough numbers) samples of Chinese Propaganda Posters from the Cultural Revolution of 1972. They aren't posters that would have been hung for the public to see. They came from a ledger with the complete collection of prints from that year. When I bought the things I made sure to take pictures of the ledger (manilla-folder looking), but of course that was a phone ago and I guess I never uploaded them to my computer. If you are interested and absolutely want, I could go back to the guy I bought them from and have him write a Certificate of Authenticity and provide you with some more pictures-but I would charge a little more for that. These are 100% real. I know China loves to fake things (eBay is littered with "Propaganda Posters" printed on cheap newspaper type paper. The Chinese NEVER used this type of paper for any of their propaganda art, especially ones with Mao on them. I specialized in East Asian studies in college and can provide you with documentation if you'd like. These will be hard to part with. I don't even know if anyone would be interested, but if you are, tell me which one you would like and offer a price.
Thanks
