About this work

This poster shows a skull wearing sunglasses with atom symbols over the eyes. Below it, two crossed-out sheets of music have atomic energy symbols. The text at the top reads *"There Is No ‘Peaceful Atom’"* in bold letters, and at the bottom, it says *"Atomic Energy is Deadly."* The skull and crossed-out music sheets make a strong statement against nuclear power. The sunglasses and atom eyes add a dark twist to the warning. Check out The Print Shop to see more bold protest posters like this one.
