About the Item

This original poster from May 1968, Travailleurs Unis – Français Immigrés, is a compelling artefact from the revolutionary student and worker protests that swept France. Created by the Atelier Populaire (the collective poster workshops formed at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris), it calls for solidarity between French and immigrant workers under the bold slogan “Travailleurs Unis” (Workers United). The striking graphic shows two stylised figures, labelled “Français” and “Immigrés”, joining raised fists in solidarity above a smaller central figure representing the capitalist or boss. This clear, minimalist design and powerful imagery were characteristic of the Atelier Populaire posters, which were screen-printed rapidly to be distributed across factories, streets, and universities, acting as immediate political messages rather than commercial art. May 1968 was a defining moment in modern French history, uniting students, workers, intellectuals, and activists in a general strike that questioned the foundations of capitalism, imperialism, and social inequality. The Atelier Populaire’s posters became its most enduring visual legacy, merging art with activism to empower and mobilise the masses. Today, this poster remains a significant piece of political and design history. It reflects both the urgent egalitarian ideals of 1968 and the pioneering graphic language that would influence radical movements worldwide. A rare and authentic addition for collectors of protest art, French history, and revolutionary design ephemera. May 68 - Politics Popular workshop stamp former school of fine arts
