Poster
Advertising Poster forming part of the Benson Collection. Part of the Save your hospitals campaign. With a colour image of the main courtyard of Guys Hospital and the title in red 'Guy's Hospital, SE1'. Part of the Hospitals of London Combined Appeal, which began in 1922. The appeal was designed to restore funds that had been exhausted during the war. London had 127 hospitals in the 1920s, all of which carried out their work with no public income beyond voluntary donations (the National Health Service was many years in the future). 120 of the 127 took part in the 1922 appeal, which was organised by King Edward's Hospital Fund for London, now known as The King's Fund. The Fund also took a lead in co-ordinating the work of London's hospitals. Guy's Hospital opened in 1726 as a sister institution to the older St Thomas's Hospital nearby. This poster shows its original 18th century building in St Thomas Street, Southwark. The 'Save your hospitals' poster shown was one of the standard posters used by the Combined Hospitals' Appeal. Imaginative fund-raising events for the Hospital Appeal included flag days, charity balls, fairs, bazaars, carnivals, ballroom dancing competitions, concerts, exhibitions and sporting events. The campaign also produced a film and some of London's first aerial, 'skywriting', advertisements.

Advertising

The advertising industry was one of 20th-century London’s boom industries. It brought new jobs for commercial artists, printers, copywriters and – later in the century – film directors. By the end of the century, London firms dominated the national industry with over 80% of all British jobs in advertising located in London.
