EDITORS COMMENTS
This poster, titled "Eat More Fish," is a striking example of promotional art from the interwar period in Britain. Created between 1927 and 1933 by an unknown artist for the Empire Marketing Board, it showcases the importance of the fishing industry during the 1930s and encourages consumers to incorporate more fish into their diets. The image features an abundant display of various fish species, arranged artfully on a table against a backdrop of the sea. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the fish, combined with the playful expression of the young boy reaching out to take a bite, create a sense of freshness and vitality. The tagline, "More Than Half The Catch Is Sold As Fried Fish," highlights the popularity and accessibility of this dish during the era. The poster's design is reminiscent of the Art Deco style, with its geometric shapes and bold typography. The use of contrasting colors and dynamic angles adds visual interest and draws the viewer's attention to the message. This poster not only serves as a testament to the marketing efforts of the time but also offers a glimpse into the cultural and culinary trends of the 1920s and 1930s in Britain. The "Eat More Fish" poster is a fascinating piece of history that showcases the power of visual communication in promoting industry and consumer behavior. Its timeless design and compelling message continue to resonate with audiences today, making it a cherished addition to any collection of vintage advertising or food-themed art.
