Translation: "Eldon's demon murders 50 people and destroys 40 to 50 million SEK. Honestly in Sweden / Stop the demon's advance! / Swedish Fire Protection Association"
Commissioned by the Swedish Fire Protection Association, this piece was designed to shock the public into taking fire hazards seriously. Rather than relying on standard, dry safety rules, it personifies the threat as a malicious "fire demon" (Elden's demon) that destroys human lives and the economy.
