Take a look at this Chinese propaganda poster from around 1970. The poster, which features an Irish tricolour and a group of Irish rebels below a sketch of Mao, commemorates the 54th anniversary of the 1916 Rising in Ireland. It also celebrates the first anniversary of the Historic Ninth National Congress of the Communist Party of China. 

It's up for sale in an upcoming auction of items taking place at Bloomsbury Auctions in London.
