EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WW2 poster, titled "Healthy Stock Will Breed Good Laying Hens" from the British Poultry and Egg Production series, No.3, is a powerful reminder of the patriotic spirit and collective efforts made during wartime to ensure food supply and support the war effort. Circa 1940, this poster was created to encourage women, who were often tasked with farming and poultry rearing during this period, to maintain the health and wellbeing of their hens to maximize egg production. The striking design features a woman proudly holding a tray of eggs against the backdrop of British flags, with the red, white, and blue colors symbolizing unity and national pride. The use of the phrase "For Victory" underscores the connection between the war effort and the importance of a strong and healthy poultry stock. The poster's bold typography and clear instructions emphasize the importance of proper care and attention to the birds, with phrases such as "Keep your hens in good condition" and "A well-fed hen lays a better egg." This poster is a poignant representation of the resilience and determination of the British people during wartime and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and efforts made to ensure food security and support the war effort.
