A cloth-capped worker with pipe advocates for Labour's employment policies in this 1929 British election poster. Hand-lettered yellow text against bright red background declares Labour's commitment to securing standards of life and employment for working people.
Commissioned for the 1929 general election campaign, this propaganda poster was published by Transport House, the Labour Party's London headquarters. The stark design depicts the party's appeal to industrial workers during its rise to become Britain's main opposition to the Conservatives.
The poster's visual language is quintessentially 1920s political communication: bold colours, strong typography, and a representative figure that speaks directly to the intended audience. The working man's image, complete with cloth cap and pipe, symbolised Labour's core constituency.
Reproduced as an archival print from historical sources, depicting the original's red and yellow colour scheme and hand-lettered typography that defined interwar British political poster design.
