EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and informative print captures a moment in history when road safety was becoming an increasingly important concern. The image depicts a motorist's signal for "straight ahead," part of a series of cigarette cards on the subject of Safety First issued by Wills in 1934. In the early 20th century, as cars became more prevalent on the roads, it was essential for drivers to communicate their intentions clearly to prevent accidents. This illustration serves as a reminder of the importance of proper signaling while driving, a practice that is still crucial today. The colorful lithograph showcases a simple yet effective hand gesture that motorists could use to indicate their intention to continue straight ahead. It is a visual representation of the efforts made during this time period to promote safe driving practices and reduce the risk of collisions. As we look back at this piece from the past, we are reminded of how far car safety has come and how vital it is for drivers to be aware and considerate on the road. This print not only serves as an educational tool but also as a fascinating glimpse into transportation history.
