Butterfly in His Space Helmet - detail from cover Collier’s Magazine April 18, 1953.
Propaganda posters of the Soviet space program, circa 1958-1963
Powerful cold war propaganda or Nostalgic images of a begone era?
Probably both.
Never the the less, it is such a a shame we don’t feel this level of excitement about space exploration. Nowadays it’s all about the latest mobile phone handset, the latest game console..
All posters are from the Collection of the Memorial Museum of Сosmonautics in Moscow.
