British Second World War poster encouraging people to save money for Britain's future. The emphasis on saving money for the future was because if people were saving money, it meant that they were less likely to spent it on things that were not absolutely essential, which in turn would mean less energy for non-essential goods and more energy (and manpower) being dedicated towards the war effort. This poster played upon the British public's patriotic sentiments, naming and illustrating nine different British landmarks, as if illustrating the beauty and history that needed to be defended in the face of Axis aggression.
