There will come a time when these signs look as dated and divorced from reality as those wartime ones “Lose talk Costs Lives”, “Make and Mend”, and Dig For Victory”.
But for now they have a relevance to everyday lives, and are here on the blog because of that, and also because they will become a piece of history.
And as such will reappear on tee shirts, tea towels and posters, along with mugs and greetings cards.
Such are the crisis moments of the present, revisited as novelty in the future.
Location; Chorlton-cum-Hardy
Pictures; signs for a Covid December, 2020, from the collection of Andrew Simpson
