In 1929, the Empire Marketing Board – a body responsible for colonial trade – commissioned a series of posters from Spencer on the theme of Industry and Peace. Spencer produced a series of five panels, or a pentaptych, which envisages as a ‘long sort of room’ depicting various trades, vocations and professions. 'The Art Class' formed the left outer panel in this ‘panorama of life’. The posters were never published.
