Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

Bells for Industrialization, 1931 - A Powerful Symbol of Soviet Political Agitation
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the iconic artwork titled "Bells for Industrialization" created by Ivan Ivanovich Kalikin in 1931. Found within the esteemed collection of the Russian State Library in Moscow, this color lithograph represents a significant era in history. During the turbulent years following the October Revolution and amidst an anti-religious campaign, this poster served as a potent tool of anti-religious propaganda. It reflects the atheistic ideology promoted by Bolshevik leaders and highlights their discrimination against Christians and persecution of the Russian Orthodox Church. Kalikin's masterpiece captures both historical context and artistic brilliance. The image depicts a massive bell being forged within an industrial setting, symbolizing Russia's rapid industrialization under Soviet rule. This juxtaposition between traditional religious symbols and modern machinery underscores the power struggle between religion and revolution during that time. The fine art composition exemplifies Kalikin's skillful graphic design techniques while conveying a strong message about religion's diminishing influence in society. By incorporating bold colors and striking imagery, he effectively communicates his support for atheism and reinforces Soviet political ideals. As we reflect on this piece from our past, it serves as a reminder of how art can be used to shape public opinion during times of social upheaval. "Bells for Industrialization" stands as an enduring testament to both artistic expression and political propaganda within Russia's complex history.
