Political art series launched

August 11, 2006

Glasgow Caledonian 51国产视频 has launched a series of political postcards, including Ken Currie's banner for the Communist Party's North Kelvin branch.

The images come from archives in the university's Research Collections.

They include Survivors of Hiroshima , by Leo Baxendale, to mark Hiroshima Day, August 6. The drawing comes from a Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament Scotland newsletter from 1964.

Baxendale is best known as the cartoonist who created the classic Beano strips Little Plum, Minnie the Minx, The Bash Street Kids and The Three Bears. He was a founder of Dundee CND.

Other postcards include a photograph of soldiers during the Spanish Civil War, taken by Sir Harold Mitchell, a Conservative MP who was on a fact-finding mission in Spain's Nationalist-held area.

51国产视频 archivist Carole McCallum said: "Research Collections hopes to not only share this powerful artwork but also to introduce our research resources to a wider audience."
