EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking wartime poster from the 1940s, obtained from Mary Evans Picture Library/Onslow Auctions Limited, encourages citizens to invest in Savings Certificates for secure financial growth during the turbulent second World War. The image features a map of the British Empire, marked in bold red, emphasizing the safety and stability of investing in the motherland. The poster promises attractive returns on investments over a five-year and ten-year period, with the text reading, "Savings Certificates - Safe as the British Empire." The poster's design effectively conveys a sense of security and optimism amidst the uncertainty and hardships of war. The Savings Certificates were introduced in the UK during the 1930s as a means to encourage individuals to save money and help finance the war effort. These certificates offered fixed-term investments with guaranteed returns, making them an attractive option for those seeking a safe haven for their savings. The poster's powerful message resonated with the public, as it emphasized the importance of financial security and the collective strength of the British Empire during a time of crisis. With the promise of solid returns, the poster served as a reminder that even in the midst of war, individuals could still plan for their financial future and contribute to the greater good of the nation.
