More Information

The poster is generally worn and creased and appears to have been stuck onto backing paper some time ago, there is an approx 5cm rip in the bottom left hand corner which extends up and out to the left, there is also a 4cm tear on the top edge extending down which has been repaired with selotape, however the print is still very vibrant and the colours strong, a very appropriate lot for the current political climate
