EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative World War II information poster, titled "Splinters Poison," serves as a stark reminder of the hazards and dangers that soldiers and civilians faced during wartime. Issued by the Ministry of Labour and National Service and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents in 1944, the poster advises the public to seek first aid for splinters, emphasizing the potential danger of tetanus and the rattle snake as a metaphor for the hidden dangers lurking in seemingly innocuous situations. The poster features a rattle snake in formation, its body coiled menacingly, ready to strike. The snake's rattles symbolize the warning signs of hidden dangers, such as the tetanus bacteria that could be present in a splinter. The snake's ominous presence serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of taking precautions to prevent accidents and injuries. The poster's design is typical of the 1940s, with bold typography and a simple yet effective visual message. The use of red and black colors adds to the sense of urgency and danger. The poster's historical significance lies in its role as a public health message during a time of war, when resources were stretched and the risk of injury was ever-present. The "Splinters Poison" poster is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and challenges faced by soldiers and civilians during World War II. It serves as a testament to the importance of public health education and the role of organizations like the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents in promoting safety and wellbeing, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
