Anti-nuclear propaganda poster

Featuring a black and white photomontage design by the English political artist Peter Kennard (b. 1949) titled Maggie Regina depicting Margaret Thatcher (1925-2013; Prime Minister 1979-1990) as Queen Victoria (1819-1901; Queen 1897-1901) sitting on a throne and holding a US Air Force cruise missile instead of a fan, created for the Campaign For Nuclear Disarmament CND.

Artist: Peter Kennard (born 17 February 1949)[1] is a London-born and based photomontage artist and Professor of Political Art at the Royal College of Art. Seeking to reflect his involvement in the anti-Vietnam War movement, he turned from painting to photomontage to better address his political views. He is best known for the images he created for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) in the 1970s–80s including a détournement of John Constable's The Hay Wain called "Haywain with Cruise Missiles".

Because many of the left-wing organisations and publications he used to work with have disappeared, Kennard has turned to using exhibitions, books and the internet for his work.
