In the darkest days of the Second World War, the General Post Office (GPO) commissioned different
artists to work on a campaign aimed at getting citizens to deposit their money in the postal bank,
from which the funds were used to help finance the war effort. By “making your money provide the
driving power” (which was the slogan of the whole campaign), citizens could concurrently save while
supporting the government’s military cause.
