Joint Production Committee WWII
Original vintage World War Two workplace motivation propaganda poster featuring rhymes with each poem accompanied by images - This is a tale that's perfectly true It shows what getting together can do. This is the place where the W.O. Decided a big new camp should go. This is the Colonel they put in charge Who was told to finish the job by March. This is the practical working man Who came along with a simple plan. This is the Joint Production Committee Where new ideas went into the kitty. This is intended to show the jerk That it caused the men to put into the work. This is the job all proper and prime That was finished in three months under time. This is the point that's seen by the folks Who have made up their mind to give Hitler the works. For cutting out muddle and stepping up speed Production Committees are what we all need. - the six illustrations showing a location between trees in front of mountains chosen by a Warrant Officer; a bald Colonel in military uniform working at a desk with papers strewn about and a map on the office wall; a working man in a cap holding a spanner; the same Colonel smiling with the working men in his office; workers building new walls and using pick axes on a building site with a Quota pinned up and a man clearing debris with a wheelbarrow; and the man in military uniform shaking hands with a worker in front of a row of new houses, the title text above and below on the pink border: This cartoon-story is based on facts which were given recently in the Press.

FAQs
More information about our posters and service.
Are your posters originals?
All antique and vintage posters listed on our website are guaranteed originals as detailed in their photographs and descriptions, and include a certificate of authenticity.
What is a lithograph?
Most of the posters found on our website are lithographs. This is a method of printing that involves drawing a reverse image of each colour onto a piece of stone. The poster sheet is then imprinted consecutively with a stone slab for each colour, creating a stunning and rich image.
With the exception of silk printing, I believe that other printing techniques do not deliver the same impact of colour as lithography.
Where do you deliver to?
We ship posters worldwide rolled in shock-resistant and hard wearing tubes. Unless specified otherwise, delivery is free within the UK and standard international delivery is £35 for orders placed via our website.
