Details: This poster shows a collage of images, all playing off the central image which says: Keep Calm and Carry On. Some of the variations include Keep Calm and Drink On, Freak Out and Run Like Hell, Keep Calm and Get It On, and Make Love and Not War.
The Keep Calm and Carry On poster was produced in 1939 during the beginning of World War II, and was a last case scenario to be used only should the Nazis succeed in invading Great Britain, in order to stiffen resolve. 2.5 million copies were printed, although the poster was distributed only in limited numbers. The poster was third in a series of three. The previous two posters from the series, Your Courage, Your Cheerfulness, Your Resolution Will Bring Us Victory and Freedom is in Peril were issued and used across the country for motivational purposes. In 2001, a copy of the Keep Calm and Carry On poster was rediscovered in Barter Books, a second-hand bookshop in Alnwick, Northumberland, and was reprinted.
