Stanley Baldwin's policies come out of a pipe. The Conservative Party commissioned the poster for the 1929 UK General Election, during Baldwin's 'Safety First' campaign, and it plays on the Prime Minister's pipe-smoking habit. The policies spill from the bowl like tobacco: "Peace in Industry", "Safeguarding", "Rating Reliefs" and "Trade Improvement", all ingredients of Baldwin's "Security Mixture".
Labour returned as the largest party in the Commons after the 1929 election.
On the poster
A tobacco pipe on an orange background tips out the Conservative policies as if they were tobacco. The policies appear as the ingredients spilling from the pipe.
