Learn To Think Imperially

Mounted One sheet piece of British Empire propaganda titled "Learn to Think Imperially". It features two globes highlighting British territories and was likely produced around the early 20th century. Overview Title: Learn to Think Imperially Context: The phrase "Think Imperially" is closely associated with Joseph Chamberlain, a prominent British statesman and colonial secretary in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, who advocated for stronger imperial unity and trade preference within the British Empire. Imagery: The poster uses maps showing the extent of the British Empire ("the sun never sets on the British Empire") and features a depiction of Britannia, a national personification of Britain, with Union Jack flags. Purpose: It was designed to promote imperial sentiment and unity among British citizens, encouraging them to see the world through a colonial lens and support imperial policies.
