One sheet vintage poster, titled
"Build: Save through your SAVINGS ASSOCIATION," was illustrated by the British artist Harry Rowntree (1878–1950).
The poster was issued by the National Savings Committee in Westminster as part of a campaign to encourage financial saving. It features a series of British birds building nests, symbolically linking the birds' preparation for the future to personal financial planning.
