Last week (July 20 2009) while walking through the middle of Ho Chi Minh City I saw a sign on a major promenade which advertised: "OLD PROPAGANDA POSTERS". Just like the relics of the Cultural Revolution in China, propaganda posters are a big business in modern Vietnam. At the other end of the bamboo pole, in Hanoi, Travel Happy reports: "Hanoi has hundreds of shops selling silks, lacquerware, tailor made clothes and all sorts of other handicrafts, but my favorite is this shop on Hang Bac in the city's Old Quarter that sells hundreds of original propaganda posters and reprints from the American War, as it known in Vietnam. Step into the shop and you step into a time capsule of exhortations to patriotism and defeating the enemy, all under the watchful eye of Uncle Ho." It turns out the shop (which is called Tranh Co Dong Cu in Vietnamese; address: 110 Hang Bac St.) is the Hanoi sister of the shop I saw in Ho Chi Minh City last week, with the same gold font of Communist red background signage. According to Travel Happy there are a variety of artistic styles at work, from the bulky Soviet graphical influence to almost impressionistic works. Since they only cost a few dollars each, you can buy several.
