Description
British Second World War poster and one in a series of accident prevention posters issued by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) aimed at workers in the industrial factories and workshops supplying the British War effort. During the war, it was important to have each work-age individual available for work. This poster cautions against reckless behavior. In this instance eye protection is targeted.
Designed by F. Kenwood Giles this poster features a strong surrealist graphic image of lots of glass eyes floating against a dark blue background. All ROSPA's industrial posters where printed by Loxley Brothers of Sheffield.
