EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph from the 20th century serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of car safety. The image depicts a scene in which a car engine is running inside a closed garage, with ominous fumes filling the space. The message is clear: never run an engine in a garage with the door closed. Created as part of a series of cigarette cards on the subject of Safety First issued by Wills in 1934, this illustration captures a crucial safety tip that still holds true today. In an era when automobiles were becoming more prevalent and accessible to the general public, it was essential to educate drivers about potential hazards like carbon monoxide poisoning. The bold colours and dynamic composition draw attention to the potentially life-threatening consequences of neglecting basic safety precautions. This print serves as both a historical artifact and a timeless warning against complacency when it comes to vehicle maintenance and operation. As we look back on this early 20th-century depiction of car safety, let us be reminded of the simple yet critical steps we can take to protect ourselves and others on the road. Let this image serve as a visual cue to always prioritize safety behind the wheel, starting with something as fundamental as ensuring proper ventilation when running your vehicle in an enclosed space.
