A coloured Chinese propaganda poster laid down on a canvas scroll with wooden rollers. The poster was reproduced from a painting created by Yang Huanzhao, featuring a young female model worker at an agricultural field taking delivery of admiring letters sent to her from across China for her working spirit and achievement. A postman standing next to her is pulling out a pile of letters and is about to hand them over to her. To show her advanced spirit of hard working and learning, the artist also portraits the young woman holding a titled "Agriculture Science" (although one of the characters drawn on the book she is holding is a typo, as the artist mistakenly use the character [叶] instead of [业])). Browning on the poster and scroll. A four-line poem telling the story of the poster lower left edge. Text in traditional Chinese lower edge. Poster measures 51.7 x 76.1cm.
