Artwork depicts Ferraro raising the American flag on a battlefield, Mondale (in top hat) immediately behind and to her right, holding a musket with Equal Rights Amendment banner attached to the bayonet; the legend, LIBERTY, above; MONDALE-FERRARO, below. Captioned, "Liberty Leading the People - 1984." Notes that the design was inspired by the famous painting by Eugène Delacroix (inset), commemorating the July Revolution of 1830, which toppled Charles X of France.
A graphic tour de force, this memorable poster from 1984 celebrates the historical milestone of the first woman on a major party presidential ticket.
