Description

Vintage 1941 Wartime Farming Poster – Sulphate of Ammonia – “Farmers, They Rely On You!” (Mounted, 20 x 26 cm)

Description:
This striking and emotive original 1941 wartime agricultural advertisement encourages British farmers to boost food production using Sulphate of Ammonia, a key fertilizer during WWII. Printed in the March 12, 1941 issue of Punch or The London Charivari, the advert is now mounted on black card, measuring approximately 20 x 26 cm.

With powerful imagery of children being led into an air raid shelter, the message is both urgent and poignant:
“Farmers – they rely on you!”
The text calls on agricultural workers to take pride in their role on the home front — helping the nation by ensuring food security through increased crop yield. This rare print is an evocative reminder of the vital contribution made by the farming community during wartime Britain.

Condition Note:
Please note that this is a genuine print from 1941. Due to age, there may be light tanning, minor edge wear, or other signs of aging typical of vintage ephemera. These natural signs of wear add to its charm and authenticity.
