EDITORS COMMENTS
This vivid and evocative wartime salvage poster from the 1940s, now available as a print from Mary Evans Picture Library/Onslow Auctions Limited, urges the public to contribute to the war effort by recycling everyday items. The poster, in shades of blue and red, features a stern-faced figure of the Navy holding a flag and pointing towards a pile of discarded materials - rags, paper, bones, and metal - with the caption "Waste is wanted for war weapons. This week and every week salvage is essential." During World War II, the need for raw materials for manufacturing war weapons was paramount, and the government launched a nationwide campaign to encourage citizens to recycle and salvage materials from their homes and workplaces. The poster is a powerful reminder of the importance of this effort, with its bold red text and the image of the Navy figure conveying a sense of urgency and duty. The poster's design reflects the patriotic spirit of the time, with the Navy's presence emphasizing the connection between the war effort and the home front. The use of the term "salvage" instead of "recycling" reflects the language of the time, but the message remains relevant today, as we continue to recognize the importance of reducing waste and conserving resources. The poster's 40s-era aesthetic, with its bold typography and graphic design, makes it a striking addition to any home or office, serving as a reminder of the sacrifices and innovations of the past and the ongoing importance of sustainability and resourcefulness.
