Manchester Art Gallery holds a fascinating collection of artist-designed posters, Commissioned by the British government's Empire Marketing Board between 1926 and 1933. The EMB's main function was to increase sales of Empire-grown and Empire-made goods throughout Great Britain, its Dominions and its Colonies. One aspect of its activities was a poster campaign that was designed to turn Britons into Empire-conscious consumers.
Over 200 posters were acquired by Manchester Art Gallery in the 1930s. The posters strong images illustrate the Empire's people, places and products. However, for a contemporary audience, the posters sometimes express uncomfortable beliefs and raise difficult questions about the legacies of the Empire today.); © Manchester Art Gallery

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "They Shall Beat Their Swords into Plowshares" is part of the series called "The Empire Stands for Peace". Created by an English School artist in the 20th century, this color lithograph is housed at the Manchester Art Gallery in the UK. Commissioned by the Empire Marketing Board and printed by Eyre & Spottiswoode for HMSO, this artwork features a powerful message. The full text accompanying it reads: "They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: Nation shall not lift up a sword against Nation, neither shall they learn war any more". The Manchester Art Gallery boasts an intriguing collection of artist-designed posters commissioned by the British government's Empire Marketing Board between 1926 and 1933. These posters aimed to promote sales of goods produced within the British Empire across Great Britain, its Dominions, and Colonies. Acquiring over 200 posters in the 1930s, these images vividly depict various aspects of life within the empire including its people, places, and products. However, when viewed through a contemporary lens, some of these posters raise uncomfortable beliefs and provoke challenging questions about the legacies left behind by colonialism. This particular print serves as a reminder that peace should prevail over conflict while urging nations to abandon warfare altogether. Its thought-provoking imagery encourages viewers to reflect on our shared responsibility towards creating a harmonious world free from violence.
