I found this on XHS, its description is:

1986 China Poster

It shows a child sitting on Marx's shoulders. The poster reads: Marx loves children. The poster was published by Sichuan Fine Arts Publishing House.

I think I'm going to rotate Stalin out for Marx. This painting is just to good!

    But it was in his intercourse with children that Marx was perhaps most charming. Surely never did children have a more delightful playfellow. My earliest recollection of him is when I was about three years old, and “Mohr” (the old home name will slip out) was carrying me on his shoulder round our small garden in Grafton Terrace, and putting convolvulus flowers in my brown curls. Mohr was admittedly a splendid horse.

      Is there a good digital copy of that book? I see internet archive has a PDF scan of the book, but their ebook is just a dump of the text from the PDF, I think, and it's a real mess to look at.
