The juxtapositions are often alarming and test our credulity. Latham’s sources include First World War propaganda posters, Victorian illustrations and modern advertising, imagery that attempts to persuade the viewer to adopt a particular point of view. Seen in retrospect, these images reveal assumptions about what the differences are between us - between classes, the two sexes, and different ethnic groups. By re-using pictures that clearly reflect the prejudices of our great- grandparents’ eras, Latham asks if we are really free from prejudice, or if we are simply as ignorant of what ideas underpin our worldview as our forefathers.
