EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative poster from 1931 is a testament to the patriotic spirit and determination of the British people during a time of economic hardship. The image, featuring a proud and united family, emphasizes the importance of buying British-made goods to boost employment and support the national economy. The campaign, which was part of a larger effort to tackle a balance of payments crisis, gained momentum following a speech by the future King Edward VIII, who urged citizens to prioritize purchasing from British farms and factories over foreign imports. The poster's persuasive message, which emphasizes the value of local industry and the role of every individual in contributing to the economic recovery, reflects the nationalistic pride and sense of community that defined the era. The use of the tagline "What you & your fellows make" further emphasizes the collective responsibility of the British people to support one another and strengthen their own economy. This poster, with its timeless appeal and powerful message, remains a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of the British people during the challenging economic conditions of the 1930s.
