Hello folks.
This was a great find for me, one of the many times eBay has proven its worth as a suitable platform for militaria collectors. This was one of two original posters listed by the same seller, the other of which I sadly missed out on. Typically, original propaganda posters from the Home Front sell for ludicrous amounts of money, typically with price tags in the mid- to high-hundreds. I secured this one for the princely sum of £50.
This poster offers instructions for the correct actions to take during a gas attack, to include proper fitting of respirators and advice on what to do if exposed to various war gases. Printed by Fosh and Cross in London on behalf of the government, it measures 50.6 x 37.8cm, and is printed on coarse paper. It has been folded for many years, and there are rust stains on the top edge where a paperclip used to be, but otherwise the paper is in good shape, and the colours remain bright and bold.
Looking forward to getting this one framed!
Regards, B.B.
