Protect your eyes. Maintain a proper diet
Health poster: a cartoon rabbit with a grin and red eye hugs a large carrot, while an orange cloud of carrot tops fills the upper left under the headline 'Protect your eyes'. The line 'Maintain a proper diet' runs beneath. The cartoon animal gives a friendly voice to the advice; the technique is faint here.
