The Organization of Solidarity with the People of Asia, Africa and Latin America (Organización de Solidaridad con los Pueblos de Asia, África y América Latina), abbreviated as OSPAAAL produced brightly colored propaganda posters promoting their internationalism and socialist causes. 

Usually they had their message written in Spanish, English, French, and Arabic. As opposed to being put up on walls around Cuba like other type of propaganda poster, these were instead folded up and stapled into copies of Tri-continental, so that they could be distributed internationally by mail subscription. This allowed O.S.P.A.A.A.L to send its message to the several hundred thousand subscribers around the world. Cuban political posters are among the best designed in the world and many prizes were awarded to their creators. 

We take very seriously the packing of our original posters. To mail it to you, we first roll it around a large tube and covered with tissue paper to secure the ends. Then we put it inside a wider shipping tube to prevent damage to the edges and the poster never touch the walls of the tube.


I WILL SEND YOU A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY WITH THIS POSTER
