Description: This World War II poster features a man wearing a cap, a button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, slacks, and work shoes.  The header of the poster reads, “Careful!—Here’s where accidents strike.”  Arrows point to various parts of the man’s body, and the poster reads, “Head 7%,” “Eyes 4%,” “Arms 9%,” “Trunk 20%,” “Hands 8%,” “Fingers 22%,” “Legs 13 %,” “Feet 8%,” “Toes 5%,” and “General4 %.”  The percentages appear within bars that chart the prevalence of accidents to certain parts of the boy.  The bottom of the poster reads, “Let’s Work Safely to Keep ‘em Firing!”  Notice that the artist replaced the c’s in the word “accident” with a swastika.  The poster was produced roughly between 1942 and 1943.
