Chairman Mao Zedong Badges & Ephemera

Among the things I’ve picked up from Sandra’s eBay store are a couple of books of Cultural Revolution-era newspaper masthead clip art. I thought about building a gallery of scans on this site, but then realized that the folks over at Flickr have provided the perfect suite of tools for archival material such as this, particularly since they let you add notes to photos. I plan to annotate this material with translations over time — feel free to leave comments on individual image pages if you think I’ve mistranslated or have any additional suggestions.
