Original posters. Authentic history. A collection built over decades.

 

Madame Mao’s Dowry has built a collection of around 2,000 Chinese propaganda posters, many dating from the Cultural Revolution. From bold political slogans to striking graphic compositions, these posters offer a fascinating glimpse into the visual culture and history of Mao-era China.

 

Authenticity matters.

 

Reproductions and fakes are common in the market, so we take care to ensure that every poster we sell is original to its period. Each purchase comes with a certificate of authenticity, and if you have reason to question a poster’s authenticity, we guarantee that you can return or exchange it.

 

More than just a picture.

 

To help you understand what you’re looking at, we provide English translations of each poster’s text, including its slogans, artist names and printing details such as place and date.
