This fascinating site, brought to fruition by Dutch Sinologist Stefan R. Landsberger, seeks to provide “a visual chronicle of the history of modern China” through the exhibition of over 5,000 People’s Republic of China propaganda posters. Viewers may want to start with the Gallery of Chinese Propaganda Posters – an overview of 200 highlights from the collection. A visit to Our Most Visited Theme Pages and Recently Added Posters also pays intellectual dividends (Iron Women and Foxy Ladies is an especially great find). But perhaps the true gem of the site is the 200 theme presentations found under the Themes link, where readers can explore categories such as Before the People’s Republic, Campaigns – 1949-1965, Models and Martyrs, and Mao Zedong.
