Description

A vertical political poster features a central illustration of a globe with a light blue and green surface and fine black outlines for the landforms. Standing on the shape of Great Britain, a man dressed as John Bull—wearing a black tailcoat, white trousers, black boots, and a top hat—stands prominently next to a tall white pole topped with a green birdhouse. The man is smiling and placing one foot on a spade as if beginning to dig. Standing behind him is a white bulldog, and flying above him is a white dove holding a leafy green stem in its beak. Surrounding the globe, eight caricatured men's faces representing different nations or cultures look inward toward the central figure; they wear various regional styles of hats and facial hair, including a feathered Tyrolean hats. On the lower right, one of the men has the appearance of Uncle Sam. Below this illustration, the poster features bold text in varying colors and sizes: "THE WHOLE WORLD ENVIES" is printed in large red capital letters, followed by "BRITISH TRADE," "BRITISH PEACE," and "BRITISH FREEDOM" in black. At the bottom, after the small black text "UNDER" is the large and bold "NATIONAL GOVERNMENT" in an all-capital red font. The entire composition is set against a pale yellow background with a thin black border.
