This poster shows a shadowy figure in a gas mask and hard hat, holding a pickaxe. The background is a dark, jagged shape with two small white squares. Bright yellow text at the bottom reads: *"You Are Charged With Conspiring to Work For Peace."* The figure looks like a protester or worker, but the mask and pickaxe feel heavy with meaning. The text above the image mentions 14 pacifists charged with conspiracy for trying to stop a war in Ireland. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this poster in person.
