The First All-Russian Exhibition and Congress on Sheep Breeding 1912

Created by A. Komarov in 1912, this Russian poster “The First All-Russian Exhibition and Congress on Sheep Breeding” was designed to promote an agricultural event held in Moscow. It features a smiling peasant woman in a traditional red dress standing beside several sheep, symbolizing the prosperity and importance of livestock farming in the Russian countryside. The stylized lettering and warm color palette reflect early 20th-century Art Nouveau influences in Russian poster design. The image conveys optimism, national pride, and the significance of developing domestic agriculture through education and innovation.
