EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative patriotic poster from 1931 encourages viewers to "Buy British and make your job secure." Part of a government campaign aimed at tackling a balance of payments crisis, the poster reinforces the importance of buying from British farms and factories to reduce unemployment and boost the national economy. The second choice, suggested as an alternative, is to buy from the British Empire. The call to action was reinforced by a speech from the Prince of Wales, who later became King Edward VIII, emphasizing the significance of supporting domestic industry during a time of economic uncertainty. The poster, a powerful example of persuasive graphic design from the 1930s, encourages a sense of national pride and responsibility, appealing to home buyers to prioritize British-made goods and contribute to the security of their own jobs and the economic well-being of their country.
