Administration Progress Protection Raid
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster, created between 1941 and 1943, serves as a stark reminder of the importance of preparedness during air raids. The image, produced by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), depicts a determined civilian holding up a sign that reads, "This is your air raid protection. Get it now." The background is filled with ominous clouds, suggesting the imminent threat of an air raid. The civilian is shown holding a shovel, an ax, a fire extinguisher, a flashlight, a first aid kit, a bucket of sand, goggles, and a hose. Each item represents a crucial element of air raid protection and survival. The shovel and ax can be used to dig shelters or clear debris, while the fire extinguisher and hose are essential for putting out fires. The flashlight and goggles ensure visibility and protection during blackouts, and the first aid kit is vital for treating injuries. The bucket of sand can be used to put out fires or create a makeshift shelter. The poster's design is simple yet effective, with bold typography and clear, concise instructions. The image of the civilian, dressed in a workman's outfit and wearing a helmet, conveys a sense of resilience and determination. The poster's message was undoubtedly a call to action, urging civilians to take the necessary steps to protect themselves and their families during the uncertain and dangerous times of wartime. This poster is a testament to the progress made during the era, with the government and organizations like the WPA working together to produce informative and persuasive materials to keep the public informed and prepared. The poster's enduring image serves as a reminder of the importance of being prepared for emergencies and the power of effective communication in times of crisis.
