Russian White Army Poster.- Admiral Aleksandr Vasilievich Kolchak, Supreme Commander, laid down on cloth, minor loss to head affecting one letter, a few tears, 800 x 640mm, framed and glazed, [c.1919-20].
⁂ In contrast to their Bolshevik equivalent, White Army posters are exceptionally rare as almost all were destroyed by the Soviets. Dating from the height of the civil war, this poster depicts Admiral Kolchak, the head of state of "White" Russia from 1918 until he was executed by the Bolsheviks early in 1920.
Provenance: Brought back to the UK by a British army officer operating in the South of Russia during the civil war; and by descent until 2008.
