Description |
English: Air Raid Precautions on the British Home Front- Anti-gas Instruction, C 1941 This photograph is a Ministry of Information posed photograph showing a woman dabbing at a gas splash on her hand with a cloth, which would clearly be used in a leaflet, poster or exhibition on anti-gas measures. It may be that she is wiping off anti-gas ointment which she has already applied to her hand, it may be an illustration of what not to do, as civilians were advised to wash blister gas off with soap and water if no bleach ointment or cream was available, or it may be that she is dabbing a solvent, such as paraffin, onto her hand, as this will draw out and weaken the gas. |

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
