Description
Dole Queues and Demons: A Collection of British Election Posters from the Conservative Party Archive charts the evolution of election posters created by Britain's Conservative Party. This lavishly illustrated volume presents over seven hundred posters, carefully selected from the Bodleian Library's archive. The book is organized chronologically and by political period, with each chapter introducing major themes and specific issues addressed in individual posters. The chapters demonstrate changing fashions in advertising, political ideology, and standards of acceptability, offering insight into the Conservative Party's strategies up to the present day. A foreword by Maurice Saatchi provides a communications and design perspective on the posters, rounding out the discussion. This timely retrospective of British electoral landscape is particularly relevant as new media threatens traditional forms of mass communication.
