The image depicts the fearless actions of Russian revolutionaries as they brazenly attack and rob a post office during broad daylight. The colour litho artwork by Achille Beltrame showcases the intensity and chaos of this revolutionary act.

Beltrame's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life - from the expressions on each character's face to the stolen mail scattered across the floor. This print not only commemorates an extraordinary act but also sheds light on themes such as crime, political struggle, and societal unrest prevalent during that era.
