What does that mean when you say: from behind the iron curtain?
Sue, back in the early 70s when these were issued Hungary was part of the Soviet (Communist) block.
The iron curtain, as it was called, symbolized the physical and ideological divide between NATO and the Communist block.
Often in these countries style (art, fashion, design) lagged behind the west and looked dated. Although the suppression of artists actually created incredible individual creativity, it was hidden. State funded art was very conservative and dated looking, by our standards.
That's why, I think, the drawing here, though only 40 years old, look stylistically more like 60 years.
In my humble opinion.
