Honesty: A Broadside Portfolio (Vol. 2 No. 11)
One could be forgiven for thinking that honesty is a quaint relic of the past. Increasingly, the public has come to expect deception as the norm. It is everywhere: we are deceived by politicians, by corporations, by the press. This runs the gamut from bald-faced lies to manipulations of the truth. The latter is perhaps the most disquieting. When honesty is violated in subtle ways, it can feel as though there is no recourse to the truth.
Yet, honesty remains important. Telling the whole truth has changed the world. However, the truth only has power when the public believes it. Thus, it is important for the most prominent among us to be honest, to expose the same injustice and corruption which lies at the root of our cynicism. In this spirit, we present this collection of instances where powerful people expressed powerful honesty.
All broadside leaflets are hand crafted and letterpress printed on archival stock. From recipes to poetry, prose, and quotations, Thornwillow broadsides put literature in your pocket.
