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]" by English School, showcases a vibrant and thought-provoking piece of art. This colour lithograph, housed in Manchester Art Gallery, UK, is part of a larger collection commissioned by the Empire Marketing Board and printed by Jordison & Co Ltd for HMSO. The Manchester Art Gallery boasts an intriguing assortment of artist-designed posters that were created between 1926 and 1933 under the British government's Empire Marketing Board. These posters aimed to promote sales of goods produced within the British Empire across Great Britain, its Dominions, and Colonies. Over 200 such posters were acquired by the gallery during the 1930s. While these powerful images effectively depict various aspects of life within the Empire - its people, places, and products - they also raise challenging questions about its legacy today. For contemporary viewers, these artworks may evoke uncomfortable beliefs or spark discussions on how history continues to shape our present. This particular photograph print is a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance. Its inclusion in Manchester Art Gallery's collection highlights their commitment to preserving diverse perspectives and encouraging dialogue around complex issues surrounding empire-building.
