Recently you featured an interesting vintage poster from China. Anybody interested in viewing and entire collection, 100% Digitally Reborn!

Showcasing a very unique virtual online museum, the ’World's Largest Collection of Digitally Restored Vintage Advertising Posters’, originating from Japan, China and Manchukuo, 1920's-1930's, a body of work that took more than 14 months and 5,000 unpaid hours to complete. Most of these originals are by now extinct, and only exist in restored digital format, so this effort represents a one-person crusade to rescue these wonderful works of art for the enjoyment and education of future art lovers everywhere.

Thanks Kelly.

These are indeed wonderful forgotten works of art, shoved aside by time and indifference, not to mention being banned as undesirable because of decadent western influences during the cultural revolution. It is my sincere desire that they will live on, and not everyone is so fortunate as you were to visit Beijing. Thanks for your comments, Kelly, and the Old Orient Museum can now be viewed at the Saatchi Gallery UK:
