Keep Calm & Carry On

the story behind this art piece recreated by the brilliant design blogger sfgirlbybay, sold on her equally darling etsy shop is quite interesting: In 1939 when war with Germany was on the horizon, the British Government’s Ministry of Information commissioned a number of propaganda posters to be displayed throughout the country. The only graphic used was the crown of King George VI and it simply read, “Keep Calm and Carry On.”

The poster was never officially issued and remained in storage until it was re-’discovered’ over 50 years later in a pile of dusty old books bought at an auction. the rest is fashionable history. a perfect representation of the state of the world, ideally the image available in vibrant colors should serve as a daily reminder.

put it somewhere you can see it DAILY, get a DIY frame or professional mount and let this chic piece of creative visualization make your day awesome. buy a few and give it to girlfriends when they are feeling low. its sage advice for troubled times.
