Creator/production credits

According to Wikipedia, the Verband der deutschen Berufsgenossenschaften (which commissioned this print) existed from 1887 to 1921, when it became the Hauptverband der gewerblichen Berufsgenossenschaften. According to the website of the Deutsches Historisches Museum, the Unfallverhütungsbild G.m.b.H. (which received the commission) was founded in 1925. The present document mentions both of them. Presumably one of the two websites is slightly inaccurate and this document dates from the early or mid-1920s
