The Labour press in Britain enthusiastically seized the potential which the political cartoon gave them to get across their message to their supporters and potential supporters. Radical and left-wing cartoonists used their skills to highlight the perceived injustices of the established political order and to put forward socialist, Marxist or anarchist solutions to the major political problems of the period.
In terms of propaganda, the left-wing cartoon was invaluable to those who sought to propagate socialist and Marxist thinking amongst the working classes. Importantly, its message could be carried in window displays, on leaflets and banners, and as posters, at a time when the majority of newspapers were hostile to the aspirations of the labour movement.
