Have you ever wished you were better informed? (signed)
Peter KennardOriginal political poster, Have you ever wished you were better informed?, by Peter Kennard, 1983. Hand singed by the artist. One of Kennard’s most celebrated designs, the design depicts a human skeleton reading the British government publication Protect and Survive, which was intended to advise the public on how to protect themselves during a nuclear attack.
This poster was one of eleven small format posters issued by the Greater London Council with the series title 'GLC Peace Posters Pack’, designed by Kennard with a foreword by E.P. Thompson. The first print run of 800 packs were sent out free of charge to various anti-war and anti-nuclear groups, community groups, schools and local authorities around the UK. A second print run of 2000 were later produced to meet popular demand.
