Propaganda Prints reviews the history, cultural diversity and artistic
legacy of art produced in the service of social and political change
from ancient times to the present day. The author presents the arts of
state control, of opposition, of revolution, of advertising, politics
and self-promotion in their historical contexts, with three hundred
images to evoke some of the dreams and concerns which have driven
humanity through the last five thousand years.


The Ancient Mesopotamians are there with the Romans, the Crusaders, the
Normans, the Victorians, the Suffragettes, the Nazis and the Hippies.
The American, French, Russian, Mexican, Chinese and Cuban revolutions
all contribute as do many, far too many, wars. From Gutenberg's
printing press to You Tube, from Alexander to Obama, this review of
propaganda art reflects the best and the worst of us, and offers the
pictures by way of consolation.
