In a world ravaged by crime, the entire island of Manhattan has been converted into a walled prison where brutal prisoners roam. But when the US president (Donald Pleasence) crash-lands inside, only one man can bring him back: notorious outlaw and former Special Forces war hero Snake Plissken (Kurt Russell). But time is short. In 24 hours, an explosive device implanted in his neck will end Snake’s mission – and his life – unless he succeeds!
“Jenny on the Job” was a series of posters created by artist Kula Robbins and issued by the Public Health Service in 1943. This poster depicts what women working in the factories and around machines were expected to wear.
The online portal to the records held at the National Archives, and information about those records.
after literal years i finally got around to downloading a pdf of the wipers times, an unsancitioned satitical british trench magazine circulated among the troops in france from 1916-1918 after the fortuitous discovery of a printing press. i have approximately five million other things i need to read so idk when i'll be able to devote much time to it, and i gotta pick up a proper copy bc it's missing at least salient no 4 vol 2. that said? i'm genuinely laughing at what i've skimmed so far
Hope you don’t mind the addition but I’ve also got the same facsimile and maybe I’m just easily entertained but some of them have genuinely made me laugh until there were tears in my eyes and still do to this day
And honourable mention of flammenwerfer for those who haven’t seen:
