Votez PRL – Original 1947 French Political Poster by Foro“
Votez PRL” is an original French political poster designed by the artist Foro for the Parti Républicain de la Liberté (PRL) during the post‑war elections of 1947. Political posters such as this were widely used throughout France to promote parties and encourage voter participation during the rebuilding of the French political system after World War II.
The lively illustration features a fisherman walking with a rod and a basket while a rooster flies above him. The imagery humorously reinforces the slogan: “Il sera plumé et tondu s’il ne vote pas…” (“He will be plucked and shorn if he does not vote”). The visual metaphor suggests that failing to vote could leave one vulnerable or open to exploitation, encouraging citizens to participate in the democratic process.
This striking design combines bold colors, playful caricature, and strong political messaging typical of French election posters of the late 1940s. Posters like this were displayed in streets and public spaces across France during election campaigns.
This example is an original lithograph French vintage poster, professionally linen‑backed using archival conservation methods and presented in excellent condition, ready to frame.
