About This Item
London: H.M. Stationary Office, 1940. Attractive poster promoting Australian wool during World War II. Handsome image of a row of shearers, the first of whom is looking up towards you while shearing, with wool scattered around. Keith Henderson worked as a graphic artist for the Empire Marketing Board, from the 1920's. This is a lovely example of his work, with a great Australian connection. Three light fold lines o/w fine, bright condition. Text reads "Do you know that Australia is the world's greatest exporter of wool, and also supplies wheat, meat, dairy products, fruit and valuable metals: that aircraft and munitions are now being mass-produced in Australia. These Are The Sinews of War." 25 x 50", lithograph with at least 7 colors printed by Lowe & Brydone Printers Ltd, for H. M. Stationary Office.
