EDITORS COMMENTS
During the tumultuous 1940s, as the world was embroiled in the global conflict of World War II, the importance of attention to detail and focus on the little things took on new significance. This powerful WW2 poster, titled "Elephants Know No Arithmetic," is a poignant reminder of the importance of accuracy and precision, even in the most challenging of times. Designed by Victor Hicks, the poster features a striking image of an elephant sitting at a chalkboard, wearing a dunce hat and holding a stool. The elephant, a symbol of strength and intelligence, is shown struggling with a math problem on the blackboard, with the numbers seemingly jumbled and incorrect. The caption below reads, "It's the little things that count. Attention to detail is vital to all good work." The poster's message was a call to action for individuals to pay close attention to the intricacies of their work, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant. With the government relying on the collective efforts of its citizens to support the war effort, the importance of accuracy and focus was paramount. The poster's design, with its bold use of color and striking imagery, was intended to grab the attention of viewers and leave a lasting impression. The image of the elephant, a seemingly unlikely symbol of the importance of math and arithmetic, adds an element of whimsy and humor to the message, making it more relatable and memorable. Today, this vintage WW2 poster serves as a reminder of the importance of attention to detail and the role it plays in achieving success, whether in wartime or in our daily lives. Its enduring message continues to resonate with audiences, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical art and design.
