Produced between 1939 and 1946 as part of the British Ministry of Information's INF-3 poster series, this delightful poster used whimsical anthropomorphic characters — a paper man, a rag figure, and a bone creature — being marshalled by an enthusiastic rag-and-bone man to bring warmth and humour to the vital wartime salvage effort. The British wartime salvage campaign was one of the largest civilian mobilisation drives of the war, collecting millions of tons of waste materials to be recycled into weapons, vehicles, and equipment. The bold tricolour typography and lively illustration are characteristic of the best British WWII Ministry of Information poster design.
