Justice For George Davis is a 1974 by Martin Walker, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This poster shows a bold red-and-white design. A face with closed eyes is tied at the mouth with a rope made of letters spelling "JUSTICE." Above it, the words "JUSTICE FOR GEORGE DAVIS" are printed in thick, uneven letters. Below, a date and location read: "MARCH MAY 28" and an address. The rope of letters turns the word into a visual protest. The face looks calm but trapped, making the message stronger. Look up Walker, Martin next to see more of his work.
A colour screenprint by Martin Walker from 1974 depicts a man whose mouth is bound with chains. The print uses red and black ink.
