Thanks to for sharing this great shot of his Woman at Work road sign – one of 100 we had made as part of our rewards packages for our Margaret Calvert book, crowdfunded on .co.

The signs are life-size, produced as Aluminium Composite Panels (ACM) and rendered in R2 reflective vinyl, as used on permanent signs on major roads. They are also gloss laminated (A142).

The Woman at Work sign is a variation on the classic road works design (the so-called ‘men at work’ sign) Calvert created as part of the UK traffic signs programme of the mid-1960s.

Thanks to everyone who pledged and helped to make Woman at Work happen.
