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
This print titled "Timber Stacking, from the series Burma: A Land of Rich Resources" by Nyan, Ba takes us on a visual journey to the heart of Burma's timber industry. The vibrant colors and intricate details captured in this colour litho transport us back to a time when the Empire Marketing Board commissioned such works to promote Empire-grown and Empire-made goods. Housed at Manchester Art Gallery in the UK, this piece is part of an intriguing collection of artist-designed posters that were created between 1926 and 1933. These posters aimed to cultivate an Empire-conscious consumer base throughout Great Britain, its Dominions, and Colonies. With over 200 acquired by Manchester Art Gallery during the 1930s, these powerful images provide glimpses into the lives of people within the Empire while showcasing its diverse landscapes and products. However, as we view these historical artifacts through a contemporary lens, they also raise uncomfortable questions about the legacies left behind by colonialism. While celebrating the artistry and craftsmanship displayed in this print, it is important for us to reflect upon how these campaigns shaped perceptions during that era. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder for future generations to appreciate. As we explore its rich details today, let us remember both its artistic value and its potential for sparking conversations about our shared history.
