Description

British Second World War proclamation-style poster published by the Ministry of Fuel and Power targeting the management and workers (presumably of factories and other such industries), encouraging them to save fuel. The poster highlights the importance of saving fuel and that it must be preserved for battle (and war-related uses). Posters with messages such as this were common all around the world during the war, as goods such as oil and fuel were severely limited owing to their use in war-related areas.
