About This Design

Vintage Make Do and Mend Poster Print

Vintage Make Do and Mend Poster Print

Make Do and Mend was a British Government campaign giving tips on making the most of limited resources during the Second World War, such as not wasting water and turning off lights as well as carrying out simple repairs to make things last longer. We’ve added the Make Do and Mend caption to the vintage American Use it up, Wear it Out, Make it do! poster issued in 1944 by the United States Office of War Administration. The poster shows a typical American suburban couple outside on the lawn. The man is bending over to oil the lawnmower while his thrifty wife in a chic Forties yellow dress takes the opportunity to mend a tear on the back of his pants! We’re wondering if she’s a bit colour blind because it looks as if she’s torn a strip off his red shirt tail and is using it to patch his blue trousers! Still, needs must!

I originally ordered this print in a larger size but was not pleased with the clarity of it. When I contacted Zazzle, they responded really quickly and were very helpful. I was able to reorder the print in a smaller size and it was shipped to me within a couple of weeks. The print was packaged well to ensure there was no damage during transit (Eco friendly, too!), and I am really pleased with it. I am so grateful to the customer service team for the professional way they handled my order. I had this printed on matt finish card and I was really pleased with the quality. The colours were rich and the image sharp.
