My third and final blog post for the British Library’s Asia and Africa blog has been posted. In it I provide an overview of the Library’s collection of Chinese propaganda posters and describe the culmination of my cataloging efforts. It features images from two sets of public information posters that went out of copyright on the 1st January this year.
