Political Propaganda Posters
from
The
Soviet Union
purchased
by Gareth Jones in Autumn 1931
This
page has thumbnail pictures of Gareth Jones' collection of rare Soviet
political
propaganda posters,
purchased on his 1931 visit to the Soviet Union with Jack Heinz II
of Pittsburgh, USA. [These posters were discovered in 1990 by Nigel
Linsan Colley rolled up in Gareth's in his old attic bedroom under his bed (then belonging to Gareth's
94 year old elder
sister Miss Gwyneth Vaughan Jones) in Barry, South Wales, approximately 55 years after his
murder by bandits in Manchukuo.] These posters have now been donated to the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth, where they can be freely viewed.
