Side 1: the six images occupy the majority, each held within a narrow black border. The title and main text are separate and positioned across the top edge, in black. Further text is integrated and placed in the upper right, in black, and in the lower right, in red and in black. All set against a white background. Side 2: the image occupies the majority. The title is separate and positioned in the lower quarter, in black and in blue. All set against a white background. image 1: in the first image, the character of Percy Vere is hit on the head by a falling broom. In the second image, Percy looks above him to a trestle upon which is a pot of glue, a hammer, a box of nails and a rolled up poster. On the wall is a poster reminding workers to be careful not to drop objects on people below. In the third image, Percy builds a pile of boxes. In the fourth image, Percy climbs up the pile of boxes to the trestle. In the fifth image, the pile of boxes collapses, causing Percy to grab the trestle. In the final image, Percy sits on the floor, surrounded by the collapsed trestle; his hand is in the pot of glue, and his head is stuck through the torn poster, the text of which warns workers to use a ladder. image 2: two industrial machine guards made from wire mesh, arranged to look like a half-length depiction of a Guardsman. The upper machine guard is used to represent a bearskin helmet; the lower guard forms the soldier's chest. The lower part of the Guardsman's face has been drawn on; the emblem of a red triangle and cog (used by the Ministry of Labour and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) is placed on his chest like a medal. text 1: (NO.8) PERCY VERE by Mendoza WHEN UP ALOFT THINK OF THE MAN BELOW DON'T [partially hidden] CLIMB USE A LADDER Issued by the Ministry of Labour and National Service and produced by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, Terminal House, 52 Grosvenor Gardens, London, S.W.1.
