Shield to Protect Face During Snow Storms in Canada, 1939
When it comes to battling the elements, say, the blazing sun or the terrible chill of winter, there are limits to what even the most advanced pieces of technology can do, and we usually have to rely on clothes and other garments to help us battle the elements – so while these strange-looking shields used to protect people’s faces in snow storms in 1939 might look odd, how far have we really come since then?
Still, imagine wearing one of these today! Well, maybe it would be preferred to all those suffocating self face masks we have to wear all day long, right?
