This poster from 1944 was designed by Walter Richards to promote a government campaign for saving gas and eliminating black market purchasing of it. During WWII, the United States heavily promoted conservation of war materials such as metal, rubber, gas and food among others. This poster shows a gas attendant proudly asserting that he only sells gasoline to customers who have the correct paperwork.


While we were able to attribute this poster to Walter Richards, we were unfortunately unable to learn much about his life or career outside of this design.

What People Are Saying...

  • If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

  • The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
