Place of origin

Community print shop poster on a white background entitled 'Vigour, durability...' depicting the spine of a human being inside the form of a column, leading up to a head and brain at the top. There is a microphone before the head of the figure and single words in red lettered inside the head, spilling out down the length of the microphone as if the words were a wire or microphone cable, tumbling into a small heap on the grass at the bottom. The words begin with 'vigour' and 'durability' alongside 'power', 'strength', 'crush', 'division', 'construct' and 'despotic', amongst others.
