Soviet Cosmonaut in Space Revealed!

In this episode, we'll be visiting The Soviets in Space Poster 1963 at the Science Museum London. Welcome to Art, Culture & Books with me, Anthony King.
Soviet space posters often show a hopeful view of a better life through scientific progress. They depict new lands, planets, and societies, inspired by a movement called Russian Cosmism. The museum tell us: "Long live the world's first female cosmonaut': a Soviet poster (in Czech) celebrating Valentina Tereshkova, who orbited the Earth in Vostok 6 in June 1963. As with Sputnik in 1957, and with Yuri Gagarin, who had undertaken the first manned space flight in Vostok 1 on 12 April 1961, the flight of Tereshkova was an event deliberately loaded with symbolic meaning. It was to be another 19 years before the next female cosmonaut took to the skies."
