We pootled along to the latest Ephemera Society Fair at Holborn yesterday, and picked up a bunch of fantastic printed bits and bobs. We'll show some of them on here during the coming week.
First up is a copy of the Highway Code, from 1959, a rather delicious five colour (red, yellow, green, blue and black) job, with a series of fantastic illustrations (unfortunately uncredited); and this rather stern warning from the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation:
To all who read this Code I would therefore say: "Give as much time and thought to learning the Code as you would to anything else on which your life might depend. Contrary to what you might think, this Code is meant for you, not the other road user. Remember, it is your life you are risking."
