EDITORS COMMENTS
Travellers to England!: A Jamaican Migration Advertisement from the 1950s This powerful poster, issued by the Migration Advisory Service of the Ministry of Labour in Jamaica, encourages potential emigrants to carefully consider their decision to travel to England during the 1950s. The advertisement addresses the unemployment situation in England and advises individuals to secure employment before departing Jamaica. It also emphasizes the importance of arranging accommodation before leaving and preparing for the cold climate by packing warm clothes. The poster furthermore advises travellers to take at least 20 extra pounds in money on board the ship and for train and bus fares. It also warns against taking excessive amounts of rum and cigarettes, as heavy customs duties would apply. The advertisement concludes by encouraging children to travel with responsible adults and providing contact information for the Migration Advisory Service for further information or advice. This poster serves as a poignant reminder of the historical migration patterns from Jamaica to England during the mid-20th century. It highlights the challenges and uncertainties faced by those leaving their homes and families behind in search of better opportunities abroad. The poster's straightforward and informative tone reflects the practical advice given to potential emigrants, offering guidance and reassurance during a time of significant social and economic change.
