EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "March On To Health" showcases a vintage WPA poster from the early 20th century. The poster, created by the City of Chicago Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium, was part of a campaign promoting tuberculosis testing during the years 1936 to 1941. The image features an American girl marching confidently with determination, symbolizing the collective effort to combat this devastating disease that plagued communities across the nation at that time. The slogan "March On To Health" is boldly displayed alongside her, serving as a powerful call to action. With its simple yet impactful design, this government-produced artwork aimed to raise awareness about tuberculosis and encourage citizens to get tested for early detection and treatment. It represents a significant initiative undertaken by the Works Progress Administration's Federal Arts Project as part of President Roosevelt's New Deal policies. During this period marked by economic hardship and social challenges, public health concerns like tuberculosis were prevalent. This poster serves as a reminder of how federal efforts were mobilized to address pressing issues affecting society's well-being. As we reflect on history through this remarkable piece of art, it reminds us not only of past epidemics but also highlights the importance of proactive measures in safeguarding public health for generations to come.
