Save Fuel to Make Munitions for Battle: The Brother Who Turned the Gas Full On
Description
British Second World War poster highlighting the importance of using fuel economically. The poster is one of a campaign featuring humorous cartoons by Henry Bateman that involve a scenario with a central character wasting energy and those around them looking at them in a scornful way. In this instance the central character, here identified as 'the brother' stands before an electric bar heater holding a newspaper, while the sister and dog look upon him scornfully.
