Towards the Precipice: Propaganda Posters collected by WB Sutch opened on Saturday 2nd February to the sound of political debate. Helen Sutch and Keith Ovenden spoke about this important and fascinating New Zealander and his collection of posters; some shocking, some violent and some comical, all very interesting.
