EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a powerful piece of American history - the New Deal: WPA Poster from 1936. The poster, created by artist Erik Hans Krause, served as a visual reminder to promote breast feeding and proper child care during a time when healthcare was not easily accessible for all. The image features a woman, presumably a mother, tenderly nursing her baby while looking directly at the viewer. The message "Nurse the Baby, Your Protection Against Trouble" is boldly displayed across the top of the poster in striking typography. This simple yet impactful design aimed to educate and encourage mothers to provide their infants with nourishment through breastfeeding. Commissioned by the Works Progress Administration's Federal Arts Project, this silkscreen poster ran in both 1936 and 1938 as part of an effort to improve public health practices nationwide. It symbolizes the government's commitment towards ensuring better healthcare for its citizens during challenging times. Today, this historical artifact serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of understanding maternal and infant health care. It stands as a testament to our ongoing efforts to protect and nurture our children through informed choices about nutrition and child-rearing practices. This print captures not only an important moment in American history but also highlights the power of art in conveying essential messages that can positively impact society's well-being.
