EDITORS COMMENTS
Keep Broken Glass off the Roads" is a powerful and poignant poster from the 1940s, featuring a determined hand pointing towards the ground, with a brown shard of glass lying just below it. The hand, with its worn and calloused skin, speaks of the hardships and challenges of the era, while the glass represents the hidden dangers that lay on the roads, waiting to cause damage and ruin tyres. The simple yet effective design of the poster is a testament to the importance of road safety during this time, when cars were becoming more common but infrastructure and technology were still developing. The use of a single hand and a solitary piece of glass creates a striking image that is both visually appealing and thought-provoking. The poster's age and history add to its allure, transporting us back to a time when safety messages were shared through posters and public announcements, rather than social media or digital ads. The faded brown tones and slight wear on the edges give the poster a nostalgic feel, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical ephemera or vintage advertising. Despite its age, the message of the poster remains as relevant today as it was in the 1940s. The importance of keeping roads safe, and being mindful of potential hazards, is a lesson that continues to resonate with us, especially as we navigate the complexities of modern transportation. This poster is a reminder of the past, and a call to action for the future. This poster is available for purchase from Mary Evans Prints Online, through Mary Evans Picture Library and Onslow Auctions Limited. It is not affiliated with any specific company or commercial use, making it a unique and authentic piece of history for personal or educational purposes.
