This book of never-before-seen prints from North Korea offers a rare glimpse into the country and the creativity behind the propaganda. This incredible collection of lino-cuts and wood-block prints is the only one of its kind in existence, in or outside North Korea, and depicts the everyday lives of the train conductors, steel workers, weavers, farmers, scientists and fishermen -- the men, women and children -- of North Korea. These prints are a fascinating was to explore the culture of this virtually unknown country: a testament to the talent of North Korea's artists and its unique social, cultural and political conditions.
