Description
Signed cartoon entitled 'Andrea Leadsom's Ascent of Farming'. The cartoon features a series of silhouettes facing to the right in the style of evolution of man silhouettes. These range from the figure on the left, which has raised arms, to the figure on the right standing next to a sign reading 'job centre plus'. Between these are six additional silhouettes in a variety of poses: with hands on the floor, standing upright, holding a pitchfork, holding a rake, driving a tractor, and driving a combine harvester. At the bottom right is the artist's name 'Barney Farmer' in print text with his signature below.
