Buy British and Speed Up the Wheels of Employment
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Powerful Call to Action from the 1930s This evocative poster, created in 1931, is a poignant reminder of a government campaign aimed at tackling a balance of payments crisis during the Great Depression. The image features a series of interconnected cogs and gears, symbolizing the intricate workings of industry and employment in Britain. The caption above the illustration reads, "Buy British and Speed Up the Wheels of Employment," emphasizing the importance of purchasing goods from British farms and factories to boost the national economy and reduce unemployment. The campaign was reinforced by a persuasive speech given by the Prince of Wales, who later became King Edward VIII. His words highlighted the significance of supporting domestic industries and businesses, as opposed to those in the British Empire or abroad. The orange and black design, with its bold typography and striking imagery, effectively linked the idea of national pride to the marketplace, encouraging consumers to make a conscious choice that would benefit their country and their fellow citizens. The poster is a testament to the power of persuasive design and the role it plays in shaping public opinion and driving economic growth. Its timeless message continues to resonate, reminding us of the potential impact of our purchasing decisions on our communities and our nations. This piece of history is now available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a unique glimpse into the past and a powerful reminder of the enduring importance of buying local and supporting domestic industries.
