Bovril's advertising poster with the slogan "Don't forget the Bovril" belongs to a long line of British posters for the meat extract, which was first made in the 1880s and became a household staple in Britain and its colonies. Campaigns like this one leaned on a simple reminder, urging shoppers to add the beef-based spread to their list alongside bread and tea. Posters of this kind were a major part of commercial art in the early twentieth century, when hoardings and railway stations carried bold lettering and flat, eye-catching color. Bovril's advertising is often remembered for its memorable slogans, which helped the product stay familiar for generations.
