1962 Books Communism Crafts Lithuania Poster Propaganda Soviet Ussr Best Friend Graphic Art Literacy
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a vintage poster from Lithuania in 1962, promoting the idea that literacy books are our best friends. The poster, created during the era of Soviet communism, is a striking example of propaganda graphic art and crafts. The image showcases the power of simplicity as it features a young girl engrossed in reading, surrounded by an array of books. Her intense focus on the pages before her suggests that she has found solace and companionship within these literary treasures. The message conveyed is clear: books have the ability to be loyal confidants and trusted allies in one's journey through life. The choice to use this powerful visual representation was undoubtedly intentional. In a time when education was highly valued but also heavily controlled by state authorities, this poster aimed to emphasize the importance of literacy for personal growth and intellectual freedom. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, it serves as a reminder not only of Lithuania's past but also of how literature can transcend political boundaries. It reminds us that knowledge knows no borders or restrictions; rather, it unites people across time and space. This print from Universal History Archive / UIG allows us to appreciate both the artistic craftsmanship behind such propaganda posters and their lasting impact on society.
