Description: Soviet Space Program Poster, “Yuri Gagarin, The Flight Continues” series, printed in 1990. This is GUARANTEED 100% ORIGINAL poster published in the Soviet Union, NOT a post-Soviet reprint or replica! BIG SIZE, measures approx. 27.5” x 17.5”. Printed on high-gloss heavy stock paper, fine quality piece.The poster is in EXCELLENT CONDITION! Apart from a tiny tear on the right side, it shows only storage age, mild wrinkles from many years in storage, and minor wear to the edges, but no tears, scuffs, folds or any other significant damage. The colors are strong, not faded. Please note that it will be shipped rolled in a sturdy cardboard box. The title of this particular poster is “Gagarin’s Work Lives On” and features a full-page group photo of the six Soviet cosmonauts who spent 237 days in the “Salyut-7” orbital station.“Salyut-7” was one of the most dramatic first pages in the history of orbital stations, filled with major technical problems, hours of extravehicular repair work in open space and the daring rescue of the original crew by additional cosmonauts who were sent to the station to fix the problems. The bottom margin shows information about the publisher including the number of prints in circulation (just 3000 copies, a tiny number by Soviet standards) and the retail price of 1 Ruble (a typical cheap price from the Soviet era, before the runaway inflation that hit the Soviet, and later Russian economy starting from the early 90s). This series of posters was published in 1990 ahead of the following year’s upcoming 30th anniversary of Gagarin’s space flight. The posters were apparently created as educational tools, to be displayed in schools, libraries, museums etc. This rare collectible poster is a great piece of Space Exploration memorabilia, and can be a nice conversation piece!FREE SHIPPING (USPS 1st cl.
