A poster design produced for the 'Better Together' campaign in 2013, arguing against Scottish devolution from the UK in the upcoming referendum on Scottish independence in September 2014.
The background of the design is a blue tinted photograph of a crowd of working class men, approx. early 20thC. The text over the image reads: "'In this new world, all will know that far mroe happiness cna be obtained by union than disunion.' Robert Owen"
This artefact is printed out, and the design was most likely used for advertisements in bus and train stations in Scotland, internet adverts, and as a post to be shared on social networking websites such as Facebook and Twitter.
