Description
A sketchbook containing 22 sketches by Ken Sprague.
Ken Sprague was a key figure in British left-wing art in the 20th century. He created explicitly political designs for trade unions, Martin Luther King Jr, the Communist Party, the Labour Party, the Daily Worker newspaper and the 1984-85 Miners' Strike. His most famous works are for the peace movement - Sprague was resolutely anti-war, and designed a substantial catalogue of work communicating anti-war, and anti-nuclear messages.
