Socialist Realism Artwork

I picked up some of these postcards in a stamp shop I visited in Pyongyang.
All art in North Korea must adhere to socialist realism principles. The many posters and banners we saw in North Korea are designed to educate the population and are not seen as "art" as such.

This meant we were unable to buy any of the images we saw to take
home with us.
