Liberal Party Tory Party Tariff Reform League
Original antique political election propaganda poster - Tariff Reform This Time - featuring an illustration on the Thames Embankment showing John Bull wearing a top hat and tails and shaking hands with a worker carrying a bag full of handyman tools over his shoulder, pointing towards Big Ben with Tariff Reform written around the clock face instead of numbers, a factory next to the clock bearing a large sign on the building reading These Works Will Shortly Be Re-Opened above the text in quotes below - John Bull: Look at the clock, my boy! A satirical character that was first used in 1712, John Bull is a personification of the British public. Formed in 1903 as a protectionist pressure group, the Tariff Reform League TRL was a well funded group popular with the Conservative Party in its protest against what they saw as unfair foreign imports and their support of Imperial Preference to protect British industry from foreign competition. Printed by Hill, Siffke & Co, Grafton Works, London. Published by The Tariff Reform League. Fair condition, staining, creasing, foxing, minor tears, 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.
