The Empire Marketing Board had been formed in May 1926 by the Colonial Secretary Leo Amery to promote interempire trade and to persuade consumers to buy empire. It commissioned Frederick Charles Herrick, a leading post-World War I graphic artist, having trained at Leicester School of Art and the Royal College of Art, London, to design a poster marketing Cypriot cigarettes (see Figure 1).Footnote 39 The increase in cultivation and marketing allowed the British to finally include Cyprus in its interwar policy of imperial preference on tobacco.Footnote 40 The government announced in March 1935 that it had signed an agreement with a British company, the Cyprus Tobacco Company, giving it a five-year monopoly to exclusively purchase at a fixed price and export Yellow-leaf, believing that this would increase demand and cultivation, and thus create a prosperous industry.Footnote 41 The company director, Ronald McNair Scott, wanted to create a market in the UK for Cypriot-branded cigarettes, which he marketed as Kyprinos from 1936 (see Figure 2).Footnote 42 But after the company purchased a significant quantity in its first year, that is, two-thirds of the bumper 1934 crop, it did not need to purchase anywhere near as much in the ensuing years.Footnote 43 Complaints about the wisdom of the agreement first appeared in 1936, especially from merchants and growers, since they were blocked from exporting the tobacco not purchased by the company elsewhere
