Halfsheet, This is a World War II propaganda poster titled "The things you make may not excite... Remember - You Are on War Work"
.
The poster's text is a rhyme intended to motivate workers on the home front: "The things you make may not excite or seem important in the fight, The Navy needs them every one to keep the Axis on the run". It features an image of a military warship at sea, with a red border containing white outline illustrations of various items such as tools, rope, an anchor, and household objects. This type of poster was part of a larger campaign to connect the work of civilians with the military effort and to boost morale and production. The poster was printed for His Majesty's Stationery Office by Multi Machine Plates Ltd in London and issued by the Admiralty. The publication date is listed as 1944.
The visual style of the poster is characteristic of wartime propaganda, using direct messages and patriotic imagery to inspire a sense of duty and national unity. |
