T-Shirt des Monats: Strike The Blow (London 1893)

The design for July 2024 commemorates the radicals who held a protest meeting against the royal wedding between Prince George and Princess Mary of Teck in London in July 1893. Their posters declared:

"The London Anarchists will hold an indignation meeting Sunday, July 2nd, in Hyde Park, at half-past-three, to protest against the waste of wealth upon these Royal Vermin, while the workers are dying of hunger and overwork. Fellow workers, prepare for the Revolution. Remember – He who would be free himself must strike the blow. Down with Flunkyism."

Two members of the Socialist League were caught flyposting for the event and were arrested and held in prison. Their offices were searched, but the case was ultimately dismissed. Designed by Nanu Nano.
