War Savings
Halfsheet vintage British propaganda poster from World War II, titled "
Hit Back With Your War Savings", was designed by the artist Farr and issued by the National Savings Committee. The poster was created to urge citizens to invest in war savings certificates, a form of government-issued debt security, to help finance the war effort.
Poster Description:
Imagery: The poster features a dynamic, bold graphic of a man's head and shoulders as he powerfully wields a large sledgehammer.
Style: The style uses strong, silhouette-like shapes in limited colors—predominantly black, red, and blue—to create a powerful and action-oriented visual impact. The man's face and hands are highlighted in red and blue, emphasizing effort and determination.
Message: The forceful image of the hammer swinging down visually reinforces the call to "hit back" against the enemy through financial contribution. It suggests that civilian saving is a direct and impactful action in the conflict.
