Historia
Bradshaw had been a socialist since his youth and had joined the Communist Party of Great Britain in the early 1930s. In 1955, Bradshaw won the commission to design the Tomb of Karl Marx at his burial place in Highgate Cemetery. Bradshaw designed the whole of Marx's monument including the plinth and the calligraphy of the texts on the monument, but did not sign the finished work. The tomb was designated a Grade I listed monument in 1974.
