A rare original post WWII public information poster by Reginald Mount (1906-1979) and Eileen Evans, which was part of a large campaign originally produced to reduce the amount of absenteeism at work due to sickness, or encouraging the nation to grow their own vegetables and recycle any possible materials during the war. The posters proved a monumental success and are still reproduced today with modifications to inform over the latest threats from disease with relevant additions such as how to improve hygiene management.
