And an image — not Bachs’ — which I am constitutionally unable to resist posting:

The first fourteen posters come from the Efraín Barradas Collection at the Digital Library of the Caribbean. The last six are from the blog Cuban Posters (which seems temporarily dormant). I probably should have come up with a better title for this post, but couldn’t pass up the opportunity to reference one of my favorite albums.
Two sites (1, 2) have covered Bachs in depth, though they both have dead links, etc. Georgetown University Library has a decent overview of Cuban posters in general.
I love Bachs take on what I think of as Push Pin Graphic / Polish poster styles.
