EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant piece of British history from 1938 - an Air Raid Precautions cigarette card. As the anticipation of World War II loomed, WD & HO Wills issued a set of 50 cards to prepare citizens for potential air raids. This particular card focuses on rendering refuge rooms gas-proof, highlighting danger points with red arrows. The image showcases an interior scene featuring a fireplace and window, emphasizing the importance of sealing off these areas with gummed paper strips or putty. The concept behind this is to protect oneself and loved ones from chemical warfare during wartime. The room represents the home front and civil defense efforts in Britain during this tumultuous period. In vibrant color, the photograph symbolizes safety and protection within one's own dwelling amidst aerial warfare threats. It serves as a reminder of the measures taken by individuals to safeguard their homes against potential gas attacks. As we delve into this historical artifact, it transports us back to the 1930s when Britain was bracing itself for what would become known as World War II. This print not only encapsulates that era but also sheds light on how ordinary people were actively involved in protecting themselves and their families during times of conflict.
