The old ones have their appeal, but I found a couple new ones. Maybe people prefer the older drawings to newer ones because the newer ones could be AI.

Part of the value in showing the old illustrations is to show that we are a part of a centuries-long struggle against Capitalism, and a thousands of years long struggle against Class society. Plus, the Soviet Union made tons of these, and it's no longer here. There are modern artists, but these draw the reader into a connection with our predecessors.
