Cartoon Calendars to Mark ILP’s 120th Anniversary
Nov 19th, 2012 | By Matthew Brown | Category: Articles, Frontpage, News
Iconic political cartoons from the 1890s and 1920s are
featured in a new wall calendar published by the ILP to mark our 120th
anniversary next year. 
Launched to celebrate the founding of the Independent Labour Party in Bradford in 1893, the A4 calendars are illustrated by biting socialist cartoons first published in Keir Hardie’s newspaper, Labour Leader, in the 1890s and its ILP successor, New Leader, in the 1920s. They are not only a poignant reminder of our past but retain significant political relevance today.
The founding conference of the ILP on 13 January brought together local ILPs which had already been established, particularly in the north of England, plus the Scottish Labour Party and many individuals eager to promote its cause. The ILP became Independent Labour Publications in 1975.
The ILP 1893-2013 wall calendars cost £9.00, including postage and packing, from Independent Labour Publications, PO Box 222, Leeds LS11 1DF. Cheques payable to ‘ILP Trust Ltd’.

More details of 120th anniversary publications and events will be published here in due course.
