What it is
A 1919 poster by D. Moor for the First of May and the All-Russian subbotnik, a day of voluntary unpaid labour.
Why it matters
Moor, born Dmitry Orlov, took his pen name from the robber brothers in Schiller's play. He was among the busiest poster artists of the Civil War.
What to notice
The holiday and the work day share one title, so the poster turns a festival into a shift.
A holiday given back as labour.
