From Bookworm:
To celebrate the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam in Hong Kong on February 3-7, 1930, the Bookworm is exhibiting a limited number of folios that each contains 19 approved images of Ho Chi Minh produced by Vietnamese artists from 1946 until 1974.
The folios were printed in the early 1980ies and originally sold for 7.d 00
The images, measuring 23.5 x 33cm, were reproduced on glossy paper that has yellowed with age.
The images are of Ho Chi Minh and are presented in the folio according to mediums used in the execution of the original works
The earliest work is a 1946 oil painting by To Ngoc Van
The latest is a bust sculptured in 1974, by Nguyen Van Ly
Collectors of Ho Chi Minh memorabilia are advised that only a limited number of complete folios are available
There are two sets of images that will be sold individually.
