“Exhibition of Printed Works 1910

Created by V. Taburin in 1910, this Russian poster “Exhibition of Printed Works” announces an event showcasing books, newspapers, magazines, engravings, and posters published during that year. The image depicts a bearded printer standing at a large press, carefully examining a freshly printed sheet. The composition in bold orange and black emphasizes the dignity of labor and the power of the printing trade. The glowing lamp above symbolizes enlightenment through knowledge. This poster reflects the early 20th-century artistic style that blended realism with graphic simplicity to celebrate modern industry and culture.
