This fascinating poster, reminiscent of Soviet propaganda posters, was allegedly seen on a train between Baltimore and Washington DC recently.
Is it real, or is it a fake? Slow Moon thinks it’s real. The commenters at Articulatory Loop aren’t so sure.
Obsidian Wings has more, including plenty of trackback links to the huge debate that this poster has generated on blogs around the world.

It seems that most of the more knowledgeable bloggers and sites that linked to this story have generally agreed this artwork is based on the ‘art-deco’ form, prevalent not in just Soviet Russia in the 1930s, but also in the US, UK, France and Germany throughout that era.

True, although the big red flag in the background is what makes the Soviet link for me.
