Title: THE GULF BRIDGED (1-5); No. 813
Description: Kowloon, Hong Kong: Christian Witness Press, (n. d.). C. 1970s. Attached at the top-edge with maroon tape. Five broadsides printed in color. 30-1/4" x 21". A very good set, still very bright, with some minor occasional tears/creases and a faint spot of foxing here and there; overall a VG+ set. These posters were said to bring the viewer closer to God. The images progress much like a graphic novel, beginning with two figures at the edge of a cliff, on the other side is paradise and at the bottom of the divide is a pit of flames. The male figure tries to build a wooden bridge but it fails and falls into the pit. After he glimpses a heavenly vision of the baby Jesus, a red cross springs from the flames to bridge the divide into Paradise. Viewed in sequence they evoke a striking allegory for reaching paradise by accepting Christ into your heart.
