Are the photos taken by Beijing Hongri Photo Studio for Chairman Mao (a set of 8 photos in his later years) collectible?

Maybe it's a photo from a photo studio during the Cultural Revolution.

First of all, look at the photo that is not the original, and see if there are any traces of natural aging on the photo paper: some uneven yellowing, and whether there are any traces of natural shedding on the front of the photo due to aging (which must be determined by the preservation environment of the photo).

Again, it depends on whether it has been published. If it has been published in previous magazines, it has no trading value, only documentary value. If it does not appear in previous magazines or propaganda publications, it has high transaction value and literature value.

Finally, as an old photo, it is definitely collectible! Only the difference in transaction value.

It depends on the photo collection of Mao Zedong's elderly history, but the information collected from the Internet may not be comprehensive, so the theoretical preparation time will be a bit long. If it is verified that Chairman Mao's photos have not been made public, they are priceless from the collection point of view. There is a rule that Chairman Mao's manuscripts and articles are not allowed to be bought or sold. You can publish it as a collection in an authoritative collection magazine, or you can ask an expert who collects magazines to evaluate it for you. This price should be more accurate!
