FRAMED FACTORY SAFETY WARNINGS

1960s EA/NL/0146

“Workers! With minor precautions you may save yourself, your wife and children from a lifetime of suffering.”, reads this poster distributed by the NVvA, the Dutch Association for Workplace Hygiene. Wearing obscuring goggles, two overalled men weld and work on different projects. One pencil moustache-wearing, prosthetic eye-wielding individual is underlined with a warning “A glass eye will never restore your vision.”
