Artists used sharp visual metaphors and short satirical verses to show the damage alcohol did to the family and the workplace. Here the message is clear at a glance: the bottle-man is digging away at the very home his child lives in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanding over a meter tall, this Soviet anti-alcohol propaganda poster makes a bold accent for an interior, office or gallery, and is a strong piece for collectors of Soviet agitprop, socialist realism and political graphics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
