Please pack parcels very carefully

Please pack parcels very carefully was part of a public information campaign that promoted the careful packing of the oddly shaped and fragile objects that were sent through the post.

As well as the Staffordshire dog and the cow teapot below, Tom Eckersley produced posters featuring a cat and a pig in the series.  Each of these broken items has a tear drop under one eye.
