This is an American World War II propaganda poster for the 7th Column campaign. This gory image of a screwdriver slashing open a hand, make the message very clear: death or injury on the home front is a victory for the enemy; take precautions and protect yourself rather than get injured. During World War II, the army of spies and saboteurs infiltrating the country was referred to as the 5th Column, the 6th was the group of people assisting the 5th Column, and the 7th Colum was ‘carelessness'. The focus of this morbid campaign of posters, published by Liberty Mutual Insurance Company Boston C1944, was to decrease the number of accidental deaths and injuries in the U.S. Accidental death and injury was seen as the equivalent to enemy attack.

  • If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

  • The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
