Description
Edward Barnard Lintott
Affiche Ancienne Original vintage poster titled Sisal in East Africa, featuring a painting by Edward Barnard Lintott (1875-1951) and published by the Empire Marketing Board. The painting shows five farmers dressed in red, cutting sisal in a large field of crops which rise above head height. In the foreground is a railway and in the background blue sky with pink clouds. Intended for use in schools. The Empire Marketing Board was formed in May 1926 by Colonial Secretary Leo Amery to promote intra-Empire trade and to persuade consumers to 'Buy Empire'. It was established as a substitute for tariff reform and protectionist legislation and this is why it was eventually abolished in 1933, as a system of imperial preference replaced free trade. During its brief existence, the Empire Marketing Board was unsuccessful in raising Britain's imports of products from the Empire. Horizontal. Fair condition, creasing, tears, pinholes, staining, paper losses. Country of issue: UK, designer: Edward Barnard Lintott, size (cm): 51x77, year of printing: 1930s.
