Very large format, 25" x 40". The poster announces concerts by the Soviet Baltic Fleet Ensemble of Song and Dance, to be performed from 12th to 15th September 1940 in the Latvian port city of Liepaja.

In very good condition, showing minor wear to the edges and a printing accident which sprayed dark dye on the photo. The fold lines are visible and show mild fraying, not too intrusive to the eye. Overall, the poster's presentation is very good to excellent as the wear is minor and is "lost" against the large canvas of the poster.

The significance of this poster for a collector or a history buff is that these concerts were scheduled for just three months after Latvia had been annexed by the Soviet Union. The Bolsheviks, true to their traditional lack of any sensitivity, were rushing into propaganda entertainment for the invaded people of Latvia.
