Protect Her from Tuberculosis: Consultation of Your Doctor or Clinic - A Message of Prevention and Progress (circa 1936-1938) This evocative poster, created during the height of the tuberculosis (TB) epidemic in the United States, emphasizes the importance of regular medical checkups for TB prevention. The image features a compassionate doctor in consultation with a hopeful woman, both dressed in the fashion of the era. The doctor's attentive gaze and gentle touch convey the reassuring presence of medical care, while the woman's expression radiates relief and trust. The poster's design is a testament to the progress made in the fight against TB during this period. The use of vibrant colors, bold typography, and a clear, easy-to-understand message reflect the modern, forward-thinking approach to public health education. The image of a flower in the woman's hand symbolizes the fragility and beauty of human life, emphasizing the need to protect it from the ravages of TB. The Works Progress Administration (WPA) played a significant role in producing such posters during this time, using art as a tool for social change. This poster, like many others, was part of a larger campaign to raise awareness about TB and encourage people to seek preventative care. The consultation scene depicted in the poster served as a reminder that the simple act of visiting a doctor or clinic could mean the difference between life and death. As we reflect on this historical artifact, we are reminded of the power of prevention and the importance of seeking medical care. This poster stands as a testament to the progress made in the fight against TB and the enduring value of public health education.
