Poster depicting two dishevelled men smoking and looking towards two younger, fitter figures doing farm work in front of them. The text roughly translates as 'We are killing ourselves while they pick up money by the spade full...The idle ones don't like the tenant farmers, For today it is the idle one who is without money'.
