Windsor we build, they destroy is a 1974 by Bernadette Brittain, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This poster shows two simple scenes. The top picture has two people digging with shovels, their bodies bent over. The bottom has two police officers in helmets breaking something with their batons. The text reads: *"WINDSOR WE BUILD"* above the diggers, and *"THEY DESTROY"* below the officers. The stark black-and-white style makes the contrast sharp. The diggers look tired, while the officers appear strong and in control. The poster’s message is clear: one group works to build, the other to tear down. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this poster in person.
