EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Your Kiss of Affection, the Germ of Infection" is a powerful American poster that sheds light on the alarming issue of tuberculosis in children and its methods of transmission. Created during the years 1936 to 1939 for the Works Progress Administration's Federal Art Project (part of President Roosevelt's New Deal), this thought-provoking artwork aimed to raise awareness about this devastating epidemic. With a striking visual composition, the poster features an adorable baby wearing a bib with text boldly stating "Your Kiss of Affection, the Germ of Infection". This slogan serves as a stark reminder that even acts as innocent as kissing can potentially transmit tuberculosis. The artist skillfully combines art and text to convey an urgent message about public health. During America's Great Depression era, when healthcare resources were limited, this government initiative sought to educate citizens about preventive measures against tuberculosis. By utilizing impactful imagery and concise messaging, it effectively communicated how seemingly harmless actions could contribute to the spread of infection. This historic piece not only reflects on past efforts to combat disease but also reminds us today that public health campaigns play a crucial role in safeguarding communities. It stands as a testament to both artistic expression and governmental responsibility in addressing pressing health concerns.
