Description
British Second World War poster by Lewitt-Him. Depicts a train made from a sliced loaf of bread. Title is printed along the top in blue ink, and the message is printed along the bottom in yellow ink, urging, 'DON'T WASTE IT'. This poster was part of a wider campaign to minimise waste, linking home front frugalness with front line military activities. Lewitt-Him was a collaborative design partnership between Jan LeWitt and George Him, two Polish artists. Their work was used extensively by the Polish Government and during the Second World War, they enjoyed 'marked success' for their posters in Britain.
