Den Illa HA
Maquette hand-painted
Swedish poster from the 1920s or 1930s. The Swedish text "DEN ILLA GÖR HAN FAR" translates to "The bad (person), he drives (fast)" or "He who does bad, drives," implying reckless driving.
The poster likely served as propaganda for the Swedish referendum on prohibition in 1922 or a related road safety or political campaign, associating "bad" behavior like speeding with the opposition's arguments. It depicts a red convertible speeding off in a cloud of dust while a person is falling over in its wake.
