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.
