Lookout for the Platform - A Vital War Time Reminder from the 1940s This evocative poster, titled
EDITORS COMMENTS
Lookout for the Platform," transports us back to the wartime era of the 1940s. Dated 1941, this poster is a poignant reminder of the safety measures taken during the blackout period of World War II. The design, featuring a red, white, and dark palette, is both striking and informative. The train, a common mode of transport during the war, is depicted in the background, with its headlights dimmed to comply with the blackout regulations. The focus, however, is on the passengers, who are urged to ensure their safety before alighting from the train. The text reads, "Before alighting in the blackout, make sure the train is in the station, make sure you are on the platform side of the train." This simple yet effective message was a crucial reminder during the war, when the lack of natural light made it difficult to distinguish between the train and the platform. The poster's bold typography and use of color make it an effective communication tool, highlighting the importance of safety during travel in the midst of wartime chaos. The image of the train, a symbol of transportation and connection, serves as a reminder of the resilience and adaptability of people during times of crisis. This poster is a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the daily life and safety measures during the blackout period of World War II. It is a poignant reminder of a time when simple yet effective communication was key to ensuring safety and survival." Mary Evans Picture Library/Onslow Auctions Limited, 2023. [End of caption]
