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 while those around them disapprove. In this instance the central character, here identified as 'the daughter' stands before a fireplace heaped with coal, while her family looks over at her scornfully.
