Tompkins lived in Beijing for nearly five years at the beginning of the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution, and bought political posters as they were being published. Over 500 now form the Ann Tompkins (Tang Fandi) and Lincoln Cushing Chinese Poster Collection at the University of California at Berkeley's East Asian Library. Cushing is a Berkeley-based historian and activist of social and political graphics. They provide a substantial introduction to reproductions in brilliant color; captions identify the title, artist, publisher, date, and size.
