Liberal Party Taxation Broadening Tory Party
Original antique political election propaganda poster issued by the Liberal Party - Flattening Him Out, Or Broadening the Basis of Taxation - featuring an illustration set within a red line border depicting a Conservative Tory statesman wearing a blue coat and top hat marked Tariff Reform rolling a barrel labelled Taxation over a man wearing a hat marked Working Classes lying on the ground below a yellow poster on the wall featuring a quote - If you are to give a preference to the colonies you must put a tax on food. Mr. J. Chamberlain, House of Commons, May 28th 1903 - with the rest of the text below the image - Mr. Balfour and the Tory Party want to Broaden the Basis of Taxation. This simply means, and CAN ONLY MEAN, making the poor pay more in the way of taxation. As a Tory paper said some time ago, to broaden the basis of taxation, OF COURSE, means to place A LARGER SHARE UPON THE MASSES. Printed and published by Waterlow & Sons Ltd. Horizontal. Fair condition, creasing, folded, minor tears on margins, staining, restored tears.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All our antique and vintage posters, books, maps and prints listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Practically all of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves carving each colour of the image onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, we believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £25 for orders placed via our website.
