About the Item
The circa 1930 original poster for Chien Cheng Tah Silk Hong represents a fascinating example of early 20th-century commercial art from China, designed to promote one of the nation’s most prized industries: silk production. Created during a period when Chinese silk was gaining significant international recognition, this poster likely served as a marketing tool for Chien Cheng Tah Silk Hong to advertise its high-quality silk products to both local and global customers.
Silk, synonymous with luxury and refinement, was one of China’s most valued exports, deeply tied to the nation’s history and cultural identity. Posters like this often incorporated imagery that highlighted the elegance, craftsmanship, and cultural significance of silk production. While specific visual details are unavailable here, such promotional materials typically depicted scenes of serene landscapes, traditional Chinese motifs, or the intricate processes of silk weaving and dyeing. This was designed to evoke a sense of authenticity, heritage, and artistry.
The inclusion of the company’s name in the title reinforces its prominence in the silk trade, with "Hong" denoting a business house—a term widely used during this era in Southern China for merchant firms. Such branding also aimed to establish credibility and distinguish the company in a competitive market.
Posters from this era reflect a blend of tradition and modernity, as they employed modern advertising techniques while maintaining cultural symbolism. Today, this poster is an important artifact, encapsulating the vibrant silk trade, the craftsmanship behind it, and the role of commercial art in connecting local industries with global markets.

Original poster from 1920 For peace, subscribe to the industrial bank of China
Located in PARIS, FR
Beautiful historical poster from 1920. Borrowing for peace, subscribe to the industrial bank of China. Several national loans were issued during the economic history of modern France. These national loans take place in times of war when the public finances are in trouble, as well as in times of peace when it is necessary to launch certain projects and the public debt remains high. If the State lacked cash and taxes were no longer sufficient, a loan sometimes became necessary.
In order to encourage the population to subscribe massively to these loans, governments used propaganda, notably through posters that titillated the nationalist fibre.
