Soviet Safety Poster – “Wear Protective Glasses When Grinding Welds” (1990)

Original Soviet industrial safety poster from 1990, published in Moscow by Patriot. The bold Constructivist-inspired design features large protective goggles reflecting sparks from grinding metal, with text in Russian reading: “When cleaning a weld – work in protective glasses.”

This poster was issued during the final years of the USSR, emphasizing workplace safety in heavy industry. It is printed in strong black, gray, and red tones with a striking graphic layout typical of late Soviet poster art.

The poster measures approximately 22 by 17 inches. It shows light wear along edges and corners, including pinholes from hanging and minor creasing, but remains in very good condition overall with clean colors and sharp lines.

A visually compelling example of late Soviet design, this piece is both a historical artifact and an eye-catching display item for collectors of industrial art, propaganda, or graphic design.
