PAUL COLIN (1892-1985)NE GRAISSEZ PAS EN MARCHE. Circa 1940s. 23x15 1/4 inches, 58 1/2x38 3/4 cm. Condition B+: time-staining in margins; foxing in image; minor repaired tears at edges. This poster was commissioned by a workplace safety agency that was founded in 1947. The slogan, "Do Not Grease" does not leave a lot of room for creative interpretation. Colin simply delivers the message via basic visual symbols. The number "9" in the bottom margin suggests the poster may have been part of a series. previously unrecorded - rare.
