| 520 | |a "What do seat belts, life jackets and anti-jack knife technology have in common? They were all the subjects of campaigns run by the British Safety Council since its inception in 1957. James Tye, its charismatic founder and leader for nearly 40 years, created the British Safety Council to bring about a transformation. In 1957, hundreds of workers were killed in accidents and James marshalled every conceivable technique to save lives, including PR stunts, lobbying for better laws and, crucially, what he called 'propaganda', in the form of posters and other communication tools. In 2014, a long-lost collection of posters, papers and letters were found gathering dust in a warehouse in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. The British Safety Council, wanting to mark its 60-year history, decided to preserve the collection and commissioned historian Mike Esbester to trace the history of health and safety in Britain from the late 1960s through the posters and photographs of the time. The real gem of the archive are the historic health and safety posters, designed by Stuart Dorman. 'They may not be high art, but they capture the spirit of the times,' says Mike Esbester. "The posters reflected the social and political events taking place in the country. Their designs, often funky and flamboyant, featuring the latest fashions, celebrities and ideas, effectively promoted health and safety messages." Transformative Propaganda: Opening the Archives of the British Safety Council also offers a fascinating and vivid insight into the social and political realities of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The book contains a wealth of historical documents, press cuttings, correspondence, photographs and posters (including the famously controversial one featuring the image of the Pope in a condom)"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
