“Citizens, to the Ballot Box! Vote for Ticket Number 7 - the United Jewish Socialist Workers' Party.
Text in Yiddish. Framed. 39.5 x 26 inches.
Est: $8,000 - $12,000
This extremely rare Kerensky-period poster shows the voting during the Free Elections after the Duma was disbanded and Russians were attempting to form a new government. Lenin canceled the results. The Jews had six fragmented parties.Here a farmer directs voters - both cultivated city folk and elderly shtetl dwellers - to the new Duma, which is surrounded by a halo, as if God-given.
