EDITORS COMMENTS
During the tumultuous 1940s, as the world was embroiled in the devastating events of World War II, the efficient and responsible management of resources became a matter of national importance. This evocative WW2 poster, designed by Victor Hicks, serves as a powerful reminder of the crucial role that quality control played in ensuring the smooth delivery of essential goods to various departments and industries, which in turn relied heavily on one another for their continued operation. The poster's bold and clear message, "The quality and quantity of our incoming goods is OK. Checking of quantities is OK. Other departments depend on your OK... OK?" emphasizes the importance of diligent checking and careful record-keeping in the handling of supplies. The image of industrious workmen, meticulously examining the contents of a crate, underscores the significance of their role in maintaining the integrity of the supply chain. Victor Hicks' design, with its striking use of color and typography, effectively conveys the sense of urgency and importance attached to this task. The poster's historical significance is further underscored by its origin in the 1940s, a time when the careful management of resources was a matter of life and death for millions of people around the world. This powerful and evocative image serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of careful attention to detail, and the far-reaching consequences of carelessness or neglect in the context of large-scale operations. Whether used as a conversation starter, a decorative piece, or a source of historical inspiration, this WW2 poster is a valuable addition to any collection.
