After Sundown Slow Down
Description
This Australian Second World War poster promotes road safety after dark. The poster depicts a car (likely an FJ Holden) driving at night. Spread from upper left to lower right is the poster's title 'After Sundown' 'Slow Down', with the beam of the car's healights separating the two halves of the text. In the lower centre of the poster, is the grim reminder of how unsafe nighttime driving can be, with the text 'death is so permanent'.
