CONDITION Good. Wear consistent with age and use. Small tear top corner left. DIMENSIONS H 31 in. W 20 in. HISTORY Calendar posters were the first mainstream Chinese commercial posters. The style in which they were developed had much to do with China opening its doors to the West. The calendar posters communicated changes in urban life. women's status, social unrest and the latest "modern" conveniences of the times, all of which were influenced by the West.
