We’ve all heard the word anarchism. Do we know what it means? Do we know the names of any anarchists? Who they were, what they thought and did? What they looked like? Here are portraits of thirty-six men and women, each with a brief introduction to their life and ideas. The Christian pacifism of Tolstoy and the armed rebellion of Zapata,the fifteenth century utopianism of Rabelais and the twentieth century avant-garde music of John Cage, the absolute individuals of Max Stirner and the federalism of Pierre Proudhon. Thirty-six portraits of those who dream of a different way of life by the artist and anarchist Clifford Harper.
[Below -- Freedom Press announcement]
Anarchists - a set of 36 picture cards designed by Clifford Harper
A new departure for Freedom Press, these cards have portraits of anarchists on the front and potted biographies on the back. It follows the tradition of collecting "trading cards", formerly enclosed in packets of sweets, tea, or cigarettes but how often in self-contained packs. The men and women portrayed represent a wide cross-section of anarchist and libertarian ideas. From the fifteenth-century Rabelais to contemporaries like Noam Chomsky and Colin Ward, via old favourites like Bakunin, Kropotkin, Goldman, Zapata, Michele, Stirner, and Durruti.
