Oh dear God, these have somehow combined with memories of that safety film Shake Hands With Danger to make me wonder what a PSA produced by Ingmar Bergman would look like.

What's going on in "Bescherm Je Ogen"? Protect your eyes so you can check out ladies?

I literally cannot stop going back to the "Hoogspanning!" poster. That word, that jet, those trees...

"Hoogspanning!" would be a great name for a music festival.

Early 20th-c. poster art makes me tingly in my happy place. And the Dutch penchant for double-vowels only adds to the tingle.

I love this sort of thing. I adore the spare, strong, graphical illustrations.
So, so good.

nubs: "Still not sure what to make of the "Don't spit on the nuns" poster. Was that a serious problem? And what exactly makes it unsafe? Is it a wrath of the almighty kinda thing?"
Running the text underneath through Google Translate seems to indicate that the danger is in spreading infection. There's another "no spitting" poster further down that doesn't have a nun in it. I guess the probably was spitting in general, maybe not just at clergy.

These are fabulous. I'd love to see all of our university safety announcements like this!

I first read this as "hogsplaining" and was really wishing for a male pig doing a condescending eyeroll and saying "It's pronounced OINK."

The second poster reminds me of a great German(?) electrical safety booklet from around the same time that I used to have a scanned copy of but unfortunately can't seem to find again online.

I loved the ones with fingers missing, and the hair caught in the electric drill, but the little acorn dood wearing those huge gloves and covering his eyes while someone cuts off their foot with an ax is the best.
They're absolutely correct in suggesting that everyone wear gloves when handling irate black cats.

I sure do wish I'd seen the hair-in-the-drill one before that one time in college...

I can see the problem - with a name like that, everyone's probably doing it!
Still not sure what to make of the "Don't spit on the nuns" poster. Was that a serious problem? And what exactly makes it unsafe? Is it a wrath of the almighty kinda thing?
