Buses Give Way to Tanks: A Striking Poster from the 1940s Encouraging Patience and Cooperation during World War II This evocative poster, titled 'Buses Give Way to Tanks,' is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and adaptations required during wartime. Dated back to the 1940s, this poster was created to encourage patience and cooperation among the public during World War II. The image on the poster depicts a line of buses, each one yielding to a tank, with the caption 'Pleasure travellers must give way to war workers! Avoid rush hours.' This message emphasizes the importance of making way for essential workers, who were crucial to the war effort, and the need to avoid rush hours to ensure a smoother commute for everyone. The poster's design is both striking and effective, with bold typography and a clear, concise message that leaves a lasting impression. The use of the tank, a symbol of military might and power, underscores the gravity of the situation and the need for unity and cooperation. The poster's provenance is from the Mary Evans Picture Library/Onslow Auctions Limited, and it is a testament to the creative efforts made during the 1940s to keep the public informed and motivated during a time of great upheaval and uncertainty. This poster is a valuable historical artifact that offers a unique glimpse into the wartime spirit and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
