Chinese Kuomintang propaganda poster screen print in blue. Issued by the Political Training Department of the Military Affairs Commission, party emblem "Blue Sky with a White Sun" of the Kuomintang at upper edge, text in Traditional Chinese. Some light creasing, a little offsetting of ink at margins, very good. Text in traditional Chinese. Sheet measures 78.6 x 27.3cm. The reference to Sun's Army in the title of this poster refers to the army of Chinese warlord ??? [Sun Chuanfang] whose strong military presence was felt in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Fujian and Jiangxi in the years between 1922 and 1926. Sun, together with other major warlords ??? [Feng Guozhang], ?? [Cao Kun], ??? [Wu Peifu] and ??? [Qi Xieyuan] were part of the Zhili Clique. Sun had been Chiang Kai-shek?s second military target when the National Revolutionary Army (NRA) took over Hunan from Wu Peifu?s control. The official confrontation between the NRA and Sun's army began in August 1926 in Jiangxi Province, later another battlefield opened between them in Fujian Province in September of the same year. The wars between Sun's Army and NRA lasted until April 1928 when Sun faced complete defeat. The text on this poster reads "Welcome the Returning Triumphant Troops Who Crushed Sun's Army." The text suggests that the poster was probably issued after Sun's defeat in 1928. However, ?????????????? "Political Training Department, Military Affairs Commission of the Nationalist Government" only existed for only three months between March - June 1926. Possible explanations for the contradictory dates are that the slogans were published prior to the defeat in an effort to wish military success against Sun; or possibly given the chaotic situation in China at the time the publication details were not updated to reflect the new agency in charge.

Shipping Terms:

The shipping prices quoted on ABEBooks reflect what we have found to be the "average book". Of course in reality there are many books that do not weigh what an "average book" weighs so there are times when we need to requote shipping, just as there are times when we are in position to refund some of the shipping. Please rest assured we try to get your order to you for a reasonable price, as quickly and as well packed (we carefully pack all of our parcels in book boxes) as possible.
