Kennington Text at bottom of poster: How proud upon your quarterdeck you stand, Conductor - Captain of the mighty bus! Like some Columbus you survey the Strand, A calm newcomer in a sea of fuss.
You may be tired - how cheerfully you clip,
Clip in the dark with one eye on the street - Two decks - one pair of legs - a rolling ship - Much on your mind - and fat men on your feet!
The sirens blow and death is in the air:
Still at her post the trusty captain stands, And counts her change, and scampers up the stair, As brave a sailor of the King commands. “Frauen Warte” (Women’s Viewpoint) 1940 Unknown Artist Poster based on the April 1, 1940 issue of the Frauen Warte, the Nazi Party’s bi weekly illustrated magazine for women. “Weapons for the front..
