HAROLD STEVENSON (1929 - ) PROTECT THEM / JOIN CIVIL DEFENSE. 1951. 21 1/2x13 1/2 inches, 54 1/2x34 cm. L.I.P. & B.A., New York. Condition A-: minor stain in lower right corner. Paper. The Federal Civil Defense Administration was founded on January 12, 1951, a Cold War Era response to the first Soviet nuclear bomb explosion (in 1949) and the Korean War. The administration focussed on preparing the American public for, and protecting them from, a potential nuclear attack. Underfunded, they performed this largely through the release of printed material (posters, brochures and films), but also by constructing bomb and fall-out shelters.
