Description
This poster was created by the Labour Party for the 1945 general election. Labour won the 1945 election, and Clement Attlee became the Prime Minister, replacing wartime leader Winston Churchill's Conservative Party. This landslide victory for Labour was attributed in part to their social improvement policies, including house building.
This poster was designed for the Labour Party's 1945 general election campaign by Philip Zec (1909 - 1983). Zec was a well known left wing cartoonist, who had been a war artist for the Daily Mirror newspaper. He refused payment for the commission, seeing it as his contribution to the election campaign.
