Nos. 4552955/353-367 were in an A4 plastic sleeve labelled 'Photos taken by Edward David son of Illtyd David in Meng, the place Gareth was killed.'
Note
Many of the Soviet propaganda posters are believed to be the work of Mikhail Cheremnykh (1890-1962). Titles include "The Tractor is in the field; it is the end of the will of God"; "We will fulfil the decisions of the Party about the elimination of illiteracy"; Working in a new way, leading in a new way"; "Imperialism and religion"; "We will keep out the Kulaks from the collective farms"; "We are on guard in defence of Socialism"; "The road to world wide Otober"; "Hoover Plan in Crisis"; "Regulations for the agricultural work group."
Note
Also includes prints of eleven lantern slides from the papers of GVJ. Some of the photos from which the slides are derived appears to be the work of GVJ, the others seem to have been made using images from other (printed?) sources. All are of Russia in the 1930s and include starving peasants on the streets of Moscow.
