They all save for the future, you too can save through National Savings
Owen Miller (1907-1960) They all save for the future, you too can save through National Savings Lithographic poster 76.2 x x 50.8 cm Printed for HMSO by Fosh & Cross circa 1950. A fantastic original lithographic poster advertising the National Savings scheme. Born in Auckland and educated at Wellington College, Miller worked as an artist in New Zealand. His illustrations often appeared in Wellington newspapers. He found life difficult in New Zealand during the Depression, and eventually signed on to a boat as a deckhand, working his passage to the UK. When he arrived at the Port of London, he had only £5 to his name. His first job was an illustrator for J Lyons & Co; his greatest work there was to decorate the directors’ dining room as an aircraft interior. When the Second World War began, Miller started work for the Ministry of Aircraft Production. Following the war, Collins produced several posters advertising National Savings.

Join the New Regular Army - A Real Man's Life
Published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office. Printed by Chromoworks Limited, 1959 Lithographic poster 75x50cm Worsley was a war artist during World War II who was captured by the Germans and then an illustrator for Eagle comic. Click here for further biographical details and other posters by Worsley. The Soldier of the Queen depicted is a tank commander. At the time the poster was printed the main location for deployment of tanks was West Germany. In 1946 the British Army of the Rhine was created to protect Germany - and indeed Europe - from a Soviet invasion. Numbering up to 80,000 soldiers it was estimated that in the event of war the life expectancy of a tank commander would be less than two days. A Real Man's Life indeed.

You can be sure of Shell
Chanter's Folly and Dry Dock, Appledore
Lithographic poster for Shell Mex BP (1937) 30x44" Provenance: the family of the artist, by descent. Condition: A/A- backed to linen. Click here for biographical details and other works by the artist. Shell produced a large series of posters in the 1920s and 30s to encourage motorists to use their products in that early and golden age of motoring. They often commission artists not known for their commercial art, so their posters very often featured large and dramatic views of the British countryside and landmarks, inspiring motorists to travel further afield. Here the Ellises have taken a well-known landmark and applied avant-garde artistic techniques so stylising the view, turning, e.g. the clouds into an array of angular v-shaped blocks. Thomas Burnard Chanter (1797-1874) was owner of a fleet of sailing vessels and erected a signal tower ('Chanter's Folly') to give him advance notice of his vessels' arrival. It was demolished in 1952. The dry dock - Richmond dry dock - was built in 1853 and designed to hold two 'large' ships. It exists today and is Grade II listed.

Draughts Eat Coal - Stop All Draughts! Save Fuel for Production
Lithographic poster 76 x 50cm Issued by the Ministry of Fuel and Power Printed for HM Stationery Office by J Weiner Ltd, London WC1 Fuel was needed for production of munitions and machinery, as well as to drive the machinery. The population was therefore exhorted not to waste fuel. Successful Home Front propaganda posters, as Fougasse proved, needed to amuse the watcher; cartoonists were accordingly highly regarded for this task. -

Original lithographic poster c. 1914 75 x 50cm Published by the Parliamentary Recruiting Committee, London Printed by the Abbey Press 32 & 34 Great Peter St Westminster SW Before conscription was introduced at the beginning of 1916, recruitment into the British Army was all by way of volunteering.

In the months prior to the Fall of France in May 1940 - before the Battle of Britain began - the RAF was in action in the skies above France and this design for a scarf depicts aeroplanes and pilots of the RAF. -
