About this work

Description

Poster issued by the Department of the Environment in 1978 offering grants for modernization of houses to improve domestic sanitation. This one shows a fat woman (viewed from behind) standing in a bath tub in front of a fire hearth, a red towel raised in front of her to shield her from a window cleaner. Her husband is reading a newspaper in an armchair in front of her. It is illustrated in the style of the Bamforth traditional seaside postcards and was apparently banned by at least one council.
