Original vintage anti-nuclear propaganda poster Live In A Nuclear-Free Zone featuring a photomontage by the English political artist Peter Kennard (b. 1949) depicting a green outline of the United Kingdom map with a grey peace symbol around it, white lettering set over a black background. The 1980s saw a rise in the Nuclear-free zone movement in the UK, with authorities including county, district and city councils declaring themselves nuclear-free, and refusing to take part in civil defence exercises relating to nuclear war. Generally, nuclear-free zones were predominantly Labour Party-controlled councils but the Liberal Party and even a few Conservative Party councillors were often active in this respect too. This has been seen as a victory for the British Peace movement against the policies of Margaret Thatcher. Good condition, folds, crease marks, pinholes. Country of issue: UK, designer: Peter Kennard, size (cm): 42x30, year of printing: 1983.
