Title

Presidential Address by Frank Gilbertson to the Swansea Royal Metal Exchange (October 1918).

Creator

Harold Morgan, newspaper cartoonist

Date

October 1918

Description

Original drawing of Frank Gilbertson by Harold Morgan (newspaper cartoonist of the “Cambria Daily Leader” and later “The South Wales Daily Post”) “regarded as more typical of him than any of the few photographs he ever permitted” [23].

Frank warned of serious economic problems on the horizon as the artificial prosperity of wartime gave way to normal international trading competition in peacetime. He appealed for cooperation from all sides of industry in meeting the reconstruction challenges ahead.
