The poster proudly presents him as the Prospective Labour Member of Parliament for Attercliffe in 1908. Preserved at Sheffield City Archives under reference number MD6134/5, this historical artifact offers a glimpse into the vibrant political landscape of that era. Joseph Pointer (1875 - 1914) emerges as a charismatic and determined candidate through this striking visual representation. The broadsheet design exudes confidence with its bold typography and eye-catching graphics, capturing the attention of passersby during campaign season. Aspiring to represent Attercliffe's interests in Parliament, Pointer's image is accompanied by slogans highlighting his dedication to serving constituents and championing workers' rights. This photograph not only documents an important moment in local politics but also sheds light on the broader context of early 20th-century elections.
