1929 Motivational Posters


I was very surprised to see that these were so old, although a lot of the old Commie/Ruski posters were explicitly motivational. These are from 1929, and were sold by subscription to companies. The International Poster Gallery on Newbury Street in Boston is running an exhibit from this artist.

No idea what the price is (probably not cheap), but I liked this one. This one is cool, too, although juxtaposing the words "shooting" and "Munich Olympics" is not so cool.

The second poster is unintentionally poignant, because one of the murdered Israeli athletes in Munich was the shooting coach, Kehat Shorr.
