EDITORS COMMENTS
During the dark and uncertain days of the Second World War, the Dutch people were frequently subjected to the terrifying experience of air raids and blackouts. In this evocative poster from circa 1942, the Dutch government issued a stern warning to its citizens, urging them to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety during these dangerous times. The image of a darkened house, with only a single glowing light in the window, serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of disregarding the blackout regulations. The outstretched hand, pointing towards the ground, offers guidance on how to properly cover windows and secure any sources of light, in order to minimize the risk of attracting enemy attention. The poster's somber tone and clear instructions underscore the gravity of the situation, as the Dutch people braced themselves for the challenges of wartime. This powerful and poignant image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Dutch people during the 1940s, as they worked together to protect their homes and communities during the darkest days of the Second World War.
