He kept our boys out of Northern Ireland
Jack Rickard and Jerry De FuccioAn original American political poster, He kept our boys out of Northern Ireland, by Jack Rickard and Jerry De Fuccio, 1971. The design features a caricature of President Richard Nixon with outsized head and upraised arms standing before a background of 'stars and stripes' with a blue halo and rising sun red stripes motifs. The poster was produced as an ironic comment about Nixon’s support for UK policies in Northern Ireland at a time of heightened concerns for global human rights and the ongoing conflict in Vietnam.
