Likely one of the first space posters in history.
A Soviet propaganda poster celebrating the launch of Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite, placed into orbit on October 4, 1957.

The satellite, marked with a red star, is shown overlooking the Earth against the vastness of space. The main inscription reads СЛАВА СОВЕТСКОЙ НАУКЕ! (« Glory to Soviet science! ») in blue calligraphic letters, accompanied by a quote from Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, the father of astronautics, dedicating his work on rocketry and interplanetary communications to the Bolshevik party and the Soviet authorities.

A Soviet Raketa world time watch, caliber 2623N, featuring an upgraded dial with Lenin’s portrait.

The silver dial displays a red profile of Lenin surmounted by a red star bearing the hammer and sickle, with the inscriptions ЛЕНИН and СДЕЛАНО В РОССИИ. The rotating inner bezel lists cities and scientific stations across the globe including Moscow, London, Geneva, Novosibirsk, and the Antarctic stations Novolazarevskaya, Syowa, Mawson and Bellingshausen, allowing simultaneous reading of multiple time zones.

The caliber 2623N is a hand-wound 24-hour movement produced at the Raketa factory in Petrodvorets, heir to the manufacture founded by Peter the Great in 1721.

This movement was designed for Soviet polar expeditions, where the sun never sets for months at a time and a standard 12-hour dial becomes meaningless.

Case diameter 40mm, caseback engraved 069. Burgundy leather strap 18mm.

Tested and in perfect working order, sold with a 6-month warranty.

A Soviet Ukrainian propaganda poster from January 11, 1963, published by the State Publishing House “Мистецтво” (Art) in Kyiv, Ukrainian SSR.

The title reads “1 ТРАВНЯ!” meaning May 1st in Ukrainian.
Three faces of different origins look outward against a blue globe, surrounded by the word “peace” in six languages : МИР, PEACE, PAIX, FRIEDEN, PAZ, 和平.
A message of international solidarity, printed in 30,000 copies and sold for 10 kopecks.

The timing is striking. This poster was produced just months after the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962, the moment the world came closest to nuclear war.
While Khrushchev paraded missiles across Red Square that same May Day, this poster chose a different message entirely.

Dimensions with custom frame : 98x75 cm. Anti-reflective glass.
All our posters are 100% original.
