Description




Harold Wilson puppet

This model was made by Roger Law and Peter Fluck for their television programme Spitting Image in 1981. Having resigned as Prime Minister in 1976, Wilson was already showing signs of the degenerative illness which killed him in 1995, perhaps cruelly illustrated here.
