Designed by Guadella for the London Conservative Union in March 1946, this London County Council election poster addressed the critical post-war housing shortage. The Conservative Party positioned itself as the practical solution to London's housing crisis with "We've Had Enough Socialist Promises Now Let's Have Houses."
The 1946 LCC election came at a crucial moment when housing dominated British politics. Published by The London Conservative Union in conjunction with The London Municipal Society, printed by John Waddington Ltd.
A significant document of post-war British political communication, restored as an archival print on 200gsm Enhanced Matte Fine Art Paper.
