虽然我们有很多美丽和严重的海报,但我决定本周举起一些给我一个良好的笑声的海报,无论是从造船厂那里押韵,鼓励工人或海报警告水手和士兵有关Venereal危险的警告疾病。当我知道他们通常意味着严重的警告时,它有时会感到有点不对这些嘲笑,但我无法自助!无论如何,享受这些宝石!
The first poster is one we acquired from Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in 1962. There is no information at the bottom of the poster and I have not found another one online, so I don’t know much about it, but I love the imagery of the messy pig.

The third poster is from 1945 and encourages sailors/soldiers to get an x-ray done. I guess the idea is that if the big burly guy in the poster is willing to get his done, you should too. It’s great that he is so happy with himself and sits there and smokes. If only he knew what we know these days!阅读更多
