EDITORS COMMENTS
Dig for Victory, Grow More Food" is a powerful and evocative poster from the 1940s that encapsulates the spirit of resilience and determination during wartime. This original poster, created during World War II (WW2 or WWII, the Second World War), calls on men to answer the national call to action and contribute to the war effort by growing their own food in their gardens. The poster, produced by an unknown designer, features a stern-faced man in work clothes, holding a spade and looking directly at the viewer with a determined expression. The background is a simple yet effective design of alternating white and grey stripes, with the bold red text of the title "Dig for Victory" and the instruction "Grow More Food" in stark contrast. The use of the color green in the text adds a touch of nature and hope to the otherwise somber design. The "Dig for Victory" campaign was launched in the UK during World War II to encourage people to grow their own food in their gardens, allotments, and even window boxes, in order to reduce the strain on food supplies and support the war effort. This poster is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and hard work that people went through during wartime, and the importance of community and unity in times of crisis. The poster is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the past and the challenges faced by people during a time of war. It is a powerful reminder of the human spirit and the ability to adapt and overcome adversity, and a testament to the enduring power of visual communication in inspiring and mobilizing people towards a common goal. This original poster is available for purchase from Mary Evans Prints Online, through Mary Evans Picture Library and Onslow Auctions Limited. It is a must-have for collectors of historical posters, WWII memorabilia, and anyone interested in the history of gardening and food production during wartime.
