One sheet, "
To-day-Unemployed" is a poster created by the artist Gerald Spencer Pryse in 1923 for the British Labour Party. The poster depicts a man and a woman, with the woman holding a child, walking away from a factory in the background. This image was part of a series of posters released during the 1923 General Election campaign. The posters were intended to highlight social issues in peacetime, such as unemployment and homelessness.
Pryse was a lithographer and a keen socialist who also designed posters for the Labour Party in 1910. The 1923 posters were printed by Vincent Brooks, Day & Son Ltd., in London. The poster is sometimes paired with another poster by Pryse titled "Yesterday-The Trenches," which draws a connection between men who served in World War I and their subsequent unemployment after the war. |
