An Original Vintage Unfolded Motivational Poster (measures 28" x 54" [71 x 137 cm]) (Learn More)

It's Smart to be Safe, the 1952 workplace motivational poster ("Take care of your health -- and it will take care of you. Take a chance -- and you may lose. For yourself, for your family, for all of us PLAY SAFE! Do your part! Your work makes a difference") promoting safety in and out of the workplace and featuring art of a mother and her baby (who is wearing a life vest and laying on a flotation device) at the beach. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this unusual poster comes to us from a very long time collector of posters who decades ago purchased a large collection of these "motivational" posters. He had forgotten he owned them, and two years ago, he discovered 33 of them (all different), which he sent to us, and we auctioned them, and four of them sold for over $300, and ten of them sold for over $100 each! Now our consignor has found an additional 23 of these (again all different, and different from the earlier 33 that we auctioned) and we are auctioning those 23 in separate auctions. Don't miss this final opportunity to get one or more of these cool posters, which we have never seen anywhere else! Finally, note that because these posters are 54" wide, we have listed them in our "oversized rolled" auction, which normally only contains posters that need to ship in oversized tubes. But because these posters are only 28" wide, they can ship in standard size tubes, so the cost of shipping them will be no different than shipping any regular poster (unless they are purchased together with a poster that needs to be rolled in an oversized tube).

Condition: very good. There is some tattering and light staining around the edges of the poster. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition.
