About the Item
The original Soviet propaganda poster by T. Lyashchuk, titled "Gloire au peuple soviétique pionnier de l'espace ! Socialisme et communisme c'est le port spatiale fiable d'où l'humanité prend d'assaut et dirigera les étendues de l'univers," stands as a monumental tribute to the Soviet Union's achievements in space exploration. This poster exemplifies the use of visual art and propaganda to not only celebrate scientific milestones but also to reinforce ideological principles.
The poster prominently features the declaration "Gloire au peuple soviétique pionnier de l'espace !" ("Glory to the Soviet people, pioneers of space!"), which highlights the pride and nationalism associated with the Soviet space program. The phrase "Socialisme et communisme c'est le port spatiale fiable d'où l'humanité prend d'assaut et dirigera les étendues de l'univers" ("Socialism and communism is the reliable spaceport from which humanity launches and will conquer the expanses of the universe") further underscores the belief that these political systems were fundamental to the Soviet Union’s success in space.
T. Lyashchuk, the artist behind this poster, uses bold imagery and striking colors, typical of Soviet propaganda art, to convey a sense of optimism and power. The visual elements likely include depictions of rockets, stars, and cosmonauts, symbolizing the Soviet Union's advanced space technology and its role as a leader in the space race. Red, a dominant color in Soviet iconography, would be prominently used to symbolize strength, revolution, and the ideological fervor of communism.
The historical context of the poster is deeply rooted in the space race era during the Cold War, a period marked by intense competition between the United States and the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union’s early successes, including launching the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, in 1957, and sending the first human, Yuri Gagarin, into space in 1961, were major achievements that bolstered national pride and showcased the potential of the Soviet system. These milestones were not just scientific victories but also potent symbols of the ideological battle between capitalism and socialism.
The message of the poster ties the achievements in space exploration directly to the virtues of socialism and communism. By portraying these political systems as the "reliable spaceport," the poster suggests that the Soviet Union's advancements in space were a direct result of its socialist and communist principles. This connection was intended to instill a sense of pride and confidence in Soviet citizens while also projecting an image of Soviet superiority to the rest of the world.
Lyashchuk’s work, like many pieces of Soviet propaganda, aimed to inspire and motivate. It sought to unite the Soviet people under a common cause and to highlight the collective effort and shared glory of the nation's achievements. The portrayal of space exploration as a collective triumph of the Soviet people reinforced the narrative of unity and strength under socialism.

By Eugène Grasset
Located in PARIS, FR
Eugène Grasset’s medieval-inspired Art Nouveau poster, commissioned by Sarah Bernhardt to promote her 1894 role as Joan of Arc in Jules Barbier’s Jeanne d'Arc.

Circa 1900 Original poster for the Tillier dance Troup at the Palais de Glace
Located in PARIS, FR
The girl who has entered the theatrical profession as a child can be depended upon to lead a clean life when she grows up. She is far, far safer than the girl who enters the profession after childhood.' So wrote John Tiller, whose theatrical school produced the dancing ladies who starred in the original 'Pony Ballet' and whose troupes of 'Tiller Girls' were in great demand for shows not only in London but in Paris, Amsterdam, Turin, and New York. He and Mrs. Tiller began training youngsters at the age of nine. In the schools in London and Manchester, the girls had regular academic studies as well as dancing and were placed in Christmas pantomimes when still children. When they grew up, they were given jobs in various Tiller troupes (each managed by a mature woman who watched out for them)... [This lithograph]... was intended for all of the Tiller Troupe performances. The black type at the bottom was surprinted later to indicate, in this instance, their appearance at the Palais de Glace...
