One of Nero’s martyrs
According to The Library of Congress, this artwork is the exhibition poster for Jan Styka’s panoramic painting “The Martyrdom of the Christians in Nero’s Circus” at the Palais de Glace des Champs-Elysee. The LOC offers this transcription of the text from the poster: “Le martyre des chrétiens au palais de Néro par Jan Styka au Palais de Glace des Champs-Elysée“. The advertised panorama was painted in 1897 or 1899 (sources differ) and (according to this Polish website) was lost in Russia during World War I. No images of it turned up in a cursory search.

St. Petra
This animation appears to be the work of graphic designer Morgan Harary aka Bloodsugar. The attribution (and earliest discoverable appearance of the artwork on the internet) comes from this blog post at HOUSE OF ♥ THROB. An archived copy of Harary’s now-defunct website identifies that blog as Harary’s. This 2009 article says that Harary works with loops, logos “and a nearly unlimited range of effects” to create “club visuals” for Boston-area dance parties “like Hearthrob and … Thunderdome.”

Vote against the government
This is a political poster, published (according to its caption) in 1913 by the Women’s Social and Political Union, which was a militant suffragette organization in Great Britain during the early years of the 20th century. The poster may celebrate the plight of activist Kitty Marion, who was force fed hundreds of times during various prison hunger strikes after being arrested for violent suffragette activity. (A photograph of Kitty in the hands of the police can be seen on that same page.) However, most internet sources suggest that it references the many suffragettes who were subjected to prison force-feeding during that era.
