EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an iconic American World War II poster, created in 1943 for the Pennsylvania State Council of Defense. The poster serves as a powerful reminder to civilians about the importance of being properly prepared for air raids during wartime. Designed by the talented artist Zebedee Johnson, this silkscreen masterpiece was commissioned by the Works Progress Administrations Federal Art Project. The image depicts a range of essential items and instructions that citizens should have at hand in case of an air raid emergency. From axes and shovels to hoses and sand, every tool symbolizes preparedness and resilience. The bold red arrow directs attention towards vital equipment such as flashlights, fire extinguishers, first aid kits, goggles, buckets, and even medicine cases. With its striking typeface and clear instructions, this poster served as a visual guide for citizens across Pennsylvania during World War II. It aimed to instill a sense of responsibility among individuals on the home front while emphasizing their role in civil defense efforts alongside allied forces. As we reflect upon this historical artifact today, it reminds us not only of our collective past but also highlights the importance of being prepared for any unforeseen circumstances that may arise. This timeless piece stands as a testament to human resilience in times of crisis – urging us all to be vigilant guardians ready to protect ourselves and our communities when needed most.
