EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster, titled "Irish Free State Poultry," is a stunning example of graphic design from the 1920s. Created by renowned Irish artist Sean Keating for the Empire Marketing Board, this poster showcases the rich agricultural heritage of Ireland during that era. The design features a serene rural scene, with a donkey and cart loaded with crates of fresh eggs and chickens in the foreground. In the background, a group of people are shown working on a poultry farm, tending to their birds and collecting eggs. The warm colors and intricate details of the illustration evoke a sense of simplicity and abundance, highlighting the importance of farming and self-sufficiency during this time. The Empire Marketing Board was established in the United Kingdom in 1926 to promote trade and commerce with the British Dominions, including Ireland. Through the use of posters, the board aimed to showcase the unique products and industries of each dominion, with a focus on their agricultural strengths. Keating's "Irish Free State Poultry" poster is a testament to the success of this campaign, showcasing the high-quality produce and hardworking people of Ireland. This poster is a valuable piece of historical art, offering a glimpse into the past and the agricultural traditions of Ireland during the 1920s. Its intricate design and charming subject matter make it a must-have for collectors of vintage posters, graphic design, and Irish history.
