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 simply as 'the man' is wasting gas while others (presumably factory munitions workers) look on scornfully.
