Description

Churchill.- Fearon (Percy Hutton) "Poy". Eat More Beef, pen and ink cartoon with shading in blue pencil, Churchill as a butcher holding a large knife rolls up his sleeves and eyes a row of anxious looking citizens hanging before him in an abattoir, signed, dated to verso, 251 x 290mm., [July 1928].

⁂ Sub-headings "British Cuts are Unsurpassed" and "British Marketing Board" suggest dual messages for this cartoon: 1928 saw a number of tax cuts brought in by Churchill as Chancellor of the Exchequer (and in the run-up to the General Election the following year); there was also a concerted drive during the 1920s and 30s to "Buy British" led by the Empire Marketing Board.
