Cooking ... get up to date - go Electric : advert issued by the Electrical Development Association : In "Food Fair Olympia" handbook : September 1960
A rather jolly advert or poster design for the Electrical Development Association that appeared in the handbook to the 1960 Food Fair at London's Olympia. The EDA had been formed in the 1920s to act as an agency to promote the use of electricity by the then numerous players in the industry; it continued after nationalisation but, following the 1957 reorganisation of the industry, it was finally subsumed into the Electricity Council in 1966 to become their Marketing Department.
The cheery and warm child, with a fresh piece of cake, is by noted poster designer, artist and teacher Tom Eckersley (1914 - 1997).
