This is an original Soviet state-produced poster from the Armenian SSR featuring an elegant shield-shaped composition in golden yellow and orange. The design showcases an Armenian church with distinctive onion domes at top, transitioning through layered industrial scenes with factories, cranes, and smokestacks in the middle, down to agricultural imagery at bottom including wheat stalks, grazing livestock, and terraced farmland with grape vines. Red Armenian text at bottom reads "Պարենային ծրագիրը համազգային գործ է" (The Food Program is an All-National Task). Official state printing information appears along the bottom edge.
This official Armenian SSR poster promotes agricultural production as part of the Soviet Food Program, a major economic initiative launched in the early 1980s to address chronic food shortages. The shield design cleverly layers Armenia's cultural heritage (the church), industrial development, and agricultural abundance, visualizing the Soviet ideal of harmonious progress across all sectors of the republic's economy.
Good vintage condition. Poster shows moderate edge wear and minor creasing. Some light surface wear. Colors remain vibrant. Text legible.
