Description
Published by the National Union of conservative and Unionist Association, 24 Old Queen Street, Westminster, S.W.1. "204"
Part of: British political campaign posters
A vertical political campaign poster from 1945 features a large, centered white rectangle with a red border set against a light-colored background. At the top of the poster, a quote in red, italicized sans-serif font reads, "'We must cherish agriculture as the first of British industries & nourish all other industries thereby.'" followed by the signature "Winston Churchill" in a smaller, red cursive script. Below this is the heading "A THREE POINT POLICY FOR THE LAND" in bold black sans-serif text. The three points are listed vertically, each preceded by a solid red circle containing a white number: "1" is followed by "PRICE STABILITY TO GIVE THE FARMER A FAIR DEAL"; "2" is followed by "FAIR WAGES FOR FARM WORKERS"; and "3" is followed by "GOOD LIVING CONDITIONS IN THE COUNTRYSIDE." At the very bottom of the poster, the words "VOTE NATIONAL" appear in large, bold, red sans-serif capital letters. Very small print at the bottom edge likely contains the publisher information.
