EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured print from the Daily Sketch archives dates back to the 1940s and showcases a poignant illustration advocating for children's road safety. The image features a beautifully decorated scroll, unfurled and encircled by a boy and a girl. The scroll holds a heartfelt poem about the importance of road safety, a message that was undoubtedly relevant during a time when automobiles were becoming increasingly common. The border of the print is adorned with the silhouettes of the two children, each holding flags bearing treble and bass clefs. This musical motif likely represents the harmony and unity required for ensuring the safety of all road users, especially children. The Daily Sketch was a prominent tabloid newspaper in the United Kingdom, published between 1909 and 1971. This particular print is part of the Boswell collection, Box 365, Miscellaneous Part 1, and is a testament to the historical significance of road safety awareness campaigns. The print's vibrant colours and intricate details bring the message to life, making it an engaging and educational piece of art that continues to resonate with us today. This image serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety and the role that awareness campaigns and community initiatives play in protecting the most vulnerable road users – our children.
