About the Item

May 68 Original Vintage French Political Poster 'Finissons-en avec la Vè chaîne' In May 1968, students and workers took to the streets of Paris to protest the government through mass demonstration and strikes across the country. The creation of political posters from the students at Ecole National Supérieure des Beaux Arts helped to spread the message to fellow activists.
