So, I suspect everyone has seen the plethora of 'keep calm and carry on' related merchandise on sale in a variety of guises, from mugs to motivational books. The origins are interesting. 'Keep Calm and Carry On' was the third of three posters issued by the Ministry of Information in 1939, to motivate people and keep civilian morale high. It was, originally, the smallest print run and the least well known of the three slogans used. Only two original copies are known to exist outside of Government Archives. It was re discovered in 2000, when it was first put to commercial use.
Bit of a slow day today, this was literally the best I could do...
