EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The 1st of May. Workers have nothing to lose, but they have the whole world to win" by Alexander Petrovich Apsit, transports us back to the revolutionary atmosphere of 1919 Russia. The image depicts a vibrant scene filled with fervent workers celebrating International Workers' Day. In this powerful lithograph, we witness a sea of people united under the red flag, representing their shared struggle and determination for change. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this historic moment as workers from all walks of life gather together in solidarity. A striking element within the composition is a globe symbolizing both ambition and unity. It serves as a reminder that these workers are not confined by borders or limitations; instead, they possess an unwavering belief in their ability to reshape the world around them. As we delve deeper into this artwork's details, we notice a moon hovering above the crowd—a subtle nod towards dreams and aspirations yet to be realized. This celestial presence adds an air of hopefulness amidst what may seem like insurmountable challenges faced by those seeking social justice. Through its vivid colors and meticulous engraving techniques, this poster embodies more than just artistry—it becomes a potent tool for political communication and propaganda during times marked by revolution and communism. "The 1st of May" stands as an enduring testament to the resilience and strength found within ordinary individuals who dare to challenge
