FHK Henrion was a German graphic designer who moved to Paris after leaving school, studying with the poster designer Paul Colin and then moving to London in 1936. Interned in the Isle of Man during the Second World War, he went on to design posters for the Ministry of Information and the US Office of War Information. After the War he started his own design agency, pioneering the concept of corporate identity. Clients included KLM, Giro, The Post Office, Tate & Lyle.
The Ministry of Power and Fuel existed from 1942 to 1957 to control the nation's use of the scarce resources during and after the Second World War.
