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 "Rangoon Port, from the series Burma: A Land of Rich Resources, 1928" takes us back in time to a period when the British Empire reigned supreme. The image, captured by Ba Nyan and held at Manchester Art Gallery in the UK, is part of a larger collection commissioned by the Empire Marketing Board. The Empire Marketing Board was established with the aim of promoting sales of goods produced within the British Empire. Through an extensive poster campaign that sought to instill a sense of empire-consciousness among Britons, over 200 posters were created during its existence from 1926 to 1933. Nyan's work transports us to Rangoon Port in Burma (now Myanmar), showcasing both its natural beauty and its significance as a hub for trade and commerce. The vibrant colors brought forth through lithography add depth and richness to this historical snapshot. While these posters undoubtedly capture the essence of their time, they also raise important questions about the legacy of imperialism today. For contemporary audiences, they serve as reminders not only of Britain's colonial past but also prompt reflection on how those legacies continue to shape our world. As we admire this remarkable piece from Manchester Art Gallery's collection, it invites us into a dialogue about history, power dynamics, and cultural heritage – reminding us that art has always played an essential role in shaping our understanding of society.
