Commissioned by the Empire Marketing Board and printed by Waterlow & Sons Ltd for HMSO
Manchester Art Gallery holds a fascinating collection of artist-designed posters, Commissioned by the British government's Empire Marketing Board between 1926 and 1933. The EMB's main function was to increase sales of Empire-grown and Empire-made goods throughout Great Britain, its Dominions and its Colonies. One aspect of its activities was a poster campaign that was designed to turn Britons into Empire-conscious consumers.
Over 200 posters were acquired by Manchester Art Gallery in the 1930s. The posters strong images illustrate the Empire's people, places and products. However, for a contemporary audience, the posters sometimes express uncomfortable beliefs and raise difficult questions about the legacies of the Empire today.); © Manchester Art Gallery

EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Untitled, from the series Home Bulbs for Home Gardens" by A. A. Moores takes us on a journey back to the 1920s. This vibrant colour lithograph, housed in the prestigious Manchester Art Gallery in the UK, is part of a larger collection commissioned by the Empire Marketing Board. During its existence between 1926 and 1933, this government organization aimed to promote sales of goods produced within the British Empire. The poster campaign was designed to instill an Empire-conscious consumer mindset among Britons and their colonies. Manchester Art Gallery acquired over 200 artist-designed posters from this era, showcasing powerful imagery that depicted people, places, and products from across the vast Empire. However, viewed through a contemporary lens, these artworks also raise challenging questions about the legacies of imperialism today. This particular print showcases beautiful home bulbs for gardens—a symbol of growth and prosperity—created by Waterlow & Sons Ltd for HMSO. Its vivid colors and intricate details transport viewers into an era where advertising played a significant role in shaping public opinion. As we admire this artwork captured by Bridgeman Images on behalf of Manchester Art Gallery's remarkable collection, let it serve as a reminder of our complex history while encouraging critical reflection on how societies evolve over time.
