EDITORS COMMENTS
this promotional political postcard from the early 1900s features a black and white portrait of Russell Rea, an English ship-owner from Liverpool and Liberal Party politician. The reverse side of the postcard showcases Rea's key policy points and slogans, encouraging voters to support him in the upcoming election. At the top of the postcard, the words "Russell Rea, M.P. for Liverpool, Scotland, and West Derby" are boldly printed. Below, three of his main policies are outlined: "Freer Education," "Fuller Employment," and "No Chinese Labour!" Under each policy, a brief explanation is provided. For "Freer Education," it reads, "A Liberal Government will provide free education for all children between the ages of 5 and 14." For "Fuller Employment," it states, "Mr. Rea will work for the full employment of our people, and will oppose any measures tending to throw them out of work." And for "No Chinese Labour!," it declares, "Mr. Rea will oppose the importation of Chinese labour, which would lower wages and depress our working classes." The postcard also includes a tagline that reads, "Vote for Russell Rea, the People's Friend," emphasizing his commitment to representing the interests of the people. The date on the postcard is estimated to be circa 1906, making it an intriguing piece of historical political memorabilia from the early 20th century.
