EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative WW2 poster, titled "Make-Do and Mend," is a poignant reminder of the home front during the Second World War. Issued by the British Ministry of Information in 1940, this public information poster encourages citizens to make the most of their clothing resources during wartime rationing. The image features a woman sitting at a sewing machine, meticulously repairing a torn dress, while her young daughter looks on with anticipation. The poster's text reads, "Tear it, Wear it, Mend it, Sew on a Button, Darn a Hole, Turn a Collar, Use a Fringe in Place of a Frayed Edge, Make a Fashion Feature of a Necessity." The Make-Do and Mend campaign was a crucial part of the British war effort, as it helped to conserve precious resources and reduce the demand for new clothing. With fabric rationing in place, families were encouraged to repair and reuse their existing clothes, rather than buying new ones. This poster, with its simple yet powerful message, became an iconic symbol of the resilience and resourcefulness of the British people during the war. The poster's design is both practical and inspiring, reflecting the spirit of innovation and adaptability that characterized the home front during this challenging time. Its enduring appeal continues to resonate with audiences today, serving as a reminder of the ingenuity and determination that helped the British people to overcome the hardships of war.
