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
This print titled "Untitled (colour litho)" by Frank Newbould, displayed at the Manchester Art Gallery in the UK, offers a glimpse into a fascinating era of British history. Commissioned by the Empire Marketing Board and printed by Waterlow & Sons Ltd for HMSO, this artwork is part of an impressive collection of artist-designed posters that were created between 1926 and 1933. The Empire Marketing Board's primary objective was to promote sales of goods produced within the British Empire across Great Britain, its Dominions, and Colonies. With over 200 acquired posters from this campaign, Manchester Art Gallery showcases powerful images that depict various aspects of the Empire – its people, places, and products. However, viewing these historical pieces through a contemporary lens can evoke mixed emotions. While they serve as reminders of an influential period in British history, they also raise uncomfortable questions about the legacies left behind by the Empire today. As we admire this particular print captured beautifully by Bridgeman Images on behalf of Manchester Art Gallery (not to be confused with any commercial use), it invites us to reflect upon our relationship with colonialism and how it has shaped our present-day society. It serves as both a testament to artistic excellence and a catalyst for critical dialogue surrounding complex issues tied to imperialism.
