Safeguard Your Home - Always Disconnect the Iron Cord When Leaving, Even for a Minute
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Vintage Poster from the 1940s Promoting Home Safety This striking poster, created in the 1940s, serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of home safety, specifically in relation to the use of electrical appliances such as irons. The image features a determined-looking woman in a simple yet elegant dress, her gaze fixed on the viewer as she reaches out to unplug the cord of an iron, which is ominously depicted with sparks flying from its tip. The background is adorned with progress-themed motifs, including gears, cogs, and the inscription "Works Progress Administration," indicating that this poster was likely produced as part of a public works project during this period. The key message of the poster is clear: always disconnect the iron cord when leaving the room, even if it's just for a minute. This simple yet crucial precaution helps prevent electrical fires and other potential hazards. The poster's bold typography and evocative imagery effectively convey the sense of urgency and importance of this safety measure. The "Safeguard Your Home" series of posters, produced during the 1940s, was part of a larger campaign to promote home safety and awareness. These posters, created by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), were designed to educate the public on various safety issues and encourage the adoption of preventative measures. This particular poster, with its enduring message and striking visuals, remains a testament to the power of public information campaigns in promoting safety and well-being.
