Poster - Workers of the World Unite!

Workers of the World Unite, from an original drawing by Walter Crane, 1896.

The graphic was originally created for the front cover of a book called Cartoons for the Cause which featured some of the Walter Crane pictures we have included in our collection. Radical Poster Collective have introduced the colours and changed the wording on the flag.

Walter Crane (1845 – 1915) was an internationally renowned illustrator and artist in the late 19th Century and early 20th with a clearly recognisable style. An associate of William Morris, he was a part of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Much of Walter Crane's work was illustrating children’s books but he was an active radical socialist, a member of the Socialist League, and produced many pictures supporting the international socialist and anarchist movements, notably cartoons printed in Justice, Commonweal and The Clarion.

Because of it's age, size, and fine detail, Walter Crane artwork is difficult to reproduce to a high standard. We feel we have made good quality prints. The size is A3 (approx. 11.7" x 16.5") and is printed on good quality 170gm poster paper.
