Striking original vintage political poster produced for the International Conference for Peace, Security and Cooperation in the Mediterranean, held in Athens from 9–12 February 1978. The design features a bold, expressive white peace dove rendered in a dynamic, almost hand-sketched style, flying over a stylised map of the Mediterranean Sea in vivid blue tones.
The composition reflects late-1970s graphic design trends—minimal palette, strong contrast, and gestural linework—giving it both artistic and political impact. The imagery of the dove suggests themes of diplomacy, détente, and regional cooperation during the Cold War era. The conference itself aligns with the broader climate shaped by the Helsinki Accords, which promoted dialogue and cooperation across Europe and neighboring regions.
A visually compelling and historically relevant piece, ideal for collectors of political posters, Cold War memorabilia, or modernist graphic design.
