Commissioned by the Empire Marketing Board and printed by Jordison & Co Ltd for HMSO;
Manchester Art Gallery holds a fascinating collection of artist-designed posters, Commissioned by the British government's Empire Marketing Board between 1926 and 1933. The EMB's main function was to increase sales of Empire-grown and Empire-made goods throughout Great Britain, its Dominions and its Colonies. One aspect of its activities was a poster campaign that was designed to turn Britons into Empire-conscious consumers.
Over 200 posters were acquired by Manchester Art Gallery in the 1930s. The posters strong images illustrate the Empire's people, places and products. However, for a contemporary audience, the posters sometimes express uncomfortable beliefs and raise difficult questions about the legacies of the Empire today.); © Manchester Art Gallery

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Untitled, from the series The UK Shows her Produce [6321241] (colour litho)" by English School, showcases a fascinating glimpse into the past. Held at Manchester Art Gallery in the UK, this artwork is part of a larger collection of artist-designed posters commissioned by the British government's Empire Marketing Board between 1926 and 1933. Commissioned with the aim to promote sales of Empire-grown and Empire-made goods throughout Great Britain and its territories, these posters were designed to instill an Empire-conscious consumer mindset among Britons. With over 200 acquired by Manchester Art Gallery in the 1930s, they offer strong visual representations of people, places, and products within the British Empire. While these images are undeniably powerful and historically significant, they also raise uncomfortable questions about the legacies of empire today. For contemporary audiences viewing this particular photograph print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, it serves as a reminder that our understanding of history must encompass both its triumphs and complexities. As we explore this artwork further, we are encouraged to reflect on how societies have evolved since then while acknowledging that some beliefs depicted may no longer align with modern values. This image invites us to engage in critical conversations surrounding imperialism's impact on culture and commerce while appreciating it as an important piece of historical documentation preserved for future generations at Manchester Art Gallery.
