'A THRILLING spy noir set against the sweltering backdrop of a 1930's Shanghai. Only a few years after their founding, the Legation Cities have become a true hive of scum and villainy. In this geopolitical flashpoint, Western colonial forces face off against the Japanese and Germans. In the middle of it all, a young Triad member (El-I-MIN is MEI CHEN) forms an uneasy truce with a Syndicalist spy (EMILY SERDAHL) and an American comprador (WALTER LUTSCH). Their aim? To take down the corrupt colonial government of Shanghai, and secure freedom for her people.'

The 'Nights in Shanghai' movie poster, painted by KCC artist Yana D., serves as the main artwork for our 'World of Kaiserreich: Legation Cities' video. In this unique WoK monologue, the Legation Cities are framed like a spy noir thriller - a city where criminals and foreign empires alike are locked in the world's first ever Cold War.
This poster is available both as a laminated art print, and as a framed art print. Note that laminated posters are different from our usual propaganda posters: They use a 'matte laminate' paper type, and not our vintage paper used for propaganda posters.

About the artist
As a kid, Vincent would get into trouble for drawing German tanks on math tests. After retiring from the Kaiserreich mod team, he set upon the task of bringing the mod's incredible lore to Youtube. From there, he built KCC - a collective of creators focused on making original alt-history content!
