Zap!

electric.jpg

Check out this nice set of thirty two-color illustrations somebody flickered that depict dozens of ways the working class might unwittingly electrocute themselves, from Germany, back in the day. Looks like touching just about anything could kill you. It'll make you glad we tamed the electric beast. And do not pee on the electric rail line from a bridge!

Notable for:
- Pissed off, old world expressions on faces
- Babies, rats, washer women, farmhands, everyboodies getting electrified!
- Routine inclusions that are odd (babushkas, labor, a giant transformer mounted to the wall of your living room...)
