EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print showcases a powerful and thought-provoking anti-syphilis poster created by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1940 for the New York Department of Corrections. The poster, part of a larger campaign to raise awareness about venereal diseases, serves as a stark reminder of the importance of public health initiatives during that time. The image features a bold slogan prominently displayed in large text: "VENEREAL DISEASE". This attention-grabbing message aims to educate and inform viewers about the dangers associated with syphilis. Created under federal government support, this WPA poster reflects the commitment to improving public health across America. The design is simple yet impactful, utilizing striking colors and clear typography to convey its message effectively. Its placement within correctional facilities suggests an effort to target high-risk populations and prevent further spread of the disease. As we delve into history through this photograph, it becomes evident that combating illnesses like syphilis was not only a medical concern but also a social responsibility. The Works Progress Administration played an instrumental role in addressing such issues during their existence from 1935 to 1943. Today, this image serves as both an artifact from our past and a reminder of how far we have come in terms of healthcare advancements. It stands as testament to the power of art in conveying important messages and promoting positive change within society.
