Original political poster, Maggie Regina, by Peter Kennard, 1983. Photo montage depicting Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher as an Imperious Queen Victoria. Hand signed by the artist.

The design originally appeared as the cover of the New Statesman as a response to Thatcher’s call for a return to ‘Victorian Values’.

This poster version 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.
