Description
"No. 301"
Part of: British political campaign posters
The poster features a central, vertically oriented illustration set against a pale yellow background. At the top, the text "They did not fail us.." is printed in a bold, black sans-serif font, followed by "We must not fail them" in a similar, red sans-serif font. The illustration depicts a stylized, high-contrast black and yellow drawing of a person driving a tractor with a large harvesting attachment through a field of grain. In the background, rolling hills and a winding road are visible under a bright yellow sky. Below the illustration, the phrase "For a prosperous countryside" is written in a smaller, black serif font. The bottom of the poster is dominated by the words "VOTE" in a medium-sized red font and "NATIONAL" in a very large, bold, red sans-serif font. A small color calibration strip is visible at the very bottom edge of the print.
