About this collection

There is something very satisfying about turning the page of a new calendar at the start of a new year. It signals fresh beginnings and exciting opportunities ahead. Midland Bank (now HSBC UK) ran various calendar-inspired print advertising campaigns to promote its services between the 1940s and 1960s. Let’s look back at some of the vivid illustrations and messaging that was used to promote the bank all those years ago.
