Inspired
(our one not including the crown
of George VI) by Ministry of
Information poster designed
and produced, but not distributed,
in 1939
at the beginning of the Second
World War (1939-1945).
At
the time people were issued with
gas masks in preparation of German
gas
attack and the poster was in preparation
for such an emergency. The gas
attack never happened and the
poster was held back. Its clear
confident common sense however
is as effective now as it would
have been then, invoking the famous
British wartime spirit - that
famous stiff upper lip and capacity
for forbearance. We need it now....
