A Folded Russian Special Poster (measures 23 3/4" x 32 3/4" [60 x 83 cm]) (Learn More) Alexandrov Ensemble (commonly known as the "Red Army Choir") is an official army choir of the Russian armed forces. It was founded in 1928, and named for its first director, Alexander Vasilyevich Alexandrov. In English, the company has also been known as Ensemble of Red Army Song and Dance, A.V. Alexandrov Academic Song and Dance Ensemble of the Russian Army and Song and Dance Ensemble of the Russian Army. The ensemble consists of a male choir, an orchestra, and a dance ensemble. The Ensemble has entertained audiences both in Russia and throughout the world, performing a range of music including folk tunes, hymns, operatic arias and popular music. Artist: Nepomnyashi Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this poster! It is one of a remarkable collection of 35 Russian posters we are currently offering (a very few are from non-Russian countries that were once somewhat part of Russia). These are among the most rare Russian posters there are, from the early 1920s through 1946. Not only have we only auctioned one of the 19 before (the other 18 we have NEVER auctioned), but in all our years of auctioning, we have only auctioned a couple of dozen Russian posters from the 1920s, and a slightly larger amount from the 1930s, and a slightly larger amount from between 1940 and 1946! Nineteen of these posters are from movies, and there are also circus posters, war posters, and others. The one common denominator to all these posters is that they have really interesting images, always completely different from those of non-Russian posters for the same movies or subjects. Just like posters from Europe, posters from Russia from World War II and before are extremely rare, surely because of the lack of paper during World War II, which caused them to recycle almost all old paper, but Russian posters are even more rare, because so few posters made it out of Russia after World War II, due to the Cold War. This is a wonderful opportunity to obtain these incredibly rare and striking Russian posters, and many of them might not be offered again for sale or at auction for many years! Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has surface paper loss behind the center crossfold and the paper has thinned and that is visible on front (see our image). There is some clear tape behind that area. It has some separation in the left edge of the center horizontal fold (also repaired with tape from the back). It has a few other more minor defects and after linenbacking with some restoration the very rare Russian poster will display well. Learn More about condition grades
