VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This image features a vintage advertisement or greeting from Vokes Ltd. , located in Guildford, Surrey. The central focus is on two overlapping images of greeting cards with the words "Greetings" and "From all at Vokes. " Behind these cards is an illustration of the 'Vokes Airfilter Cross, ' which symbolizes vital protection service to industry by defense against gas & spraying products. The text on the right expresses regret that due to paper rationing, they are unable to send out individual greeting cards but still wish to convey their greetings and well-wishes. The message extends gratitude not only to friends—old and new—but also specifically mentions men and women in services as well as everyone in industry. It concludes with an inspirational quote: “May the difficulties of the present transition days soon pass and bring happier and more fruitful times. Then, more than ever, will it be possible for the ‘Vokes Amber Cross Protective Service’ to play its important part in aiding Industry. ” At the bottom left corner is a note indicating that this cross symbolizes practical protective service to industry by defense against gas & spraying products. Below this illustration is additional information about Vokes Ltd. , including their claim as pioneers of scientific filtration with locations listed across various international cities such as Paris, Brussels, New York City, Toronto, Johannesburg, and Bombay (now Mumbai). The style suggests it might have been created during wartime when materials were scarce—a time when companies often had to find creative ways like this advertisement/greeting combo—to maintain communication with clients while conserving resources.
