EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful public health message conveyed through this vintage poster from the 1930s. The image features a hopeful couple, gazing into each other's eyes, with an infant in between them, symbolizing their aspirations for a healthy family. The backdrop of the poster is Staten Island's Stuyvesant Place, home to the Bureau of Social Hygiene Clinic, which offered essential pre-marital health screenings. The poster serves as a reminder of the progress made in public health during this era, with a focus on preventing the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, particularly syphilis. The message encourages couples to undergo blood tests and examinations before marriage, emphasizing the importance of individual and collective responsibility in safeguarding the health of future generations. This poster was produced during the Works Progress Administration (WPA) era, a New Deal program that provided employment opportunities for artists, writers, and other professionals. The WPA's Federal Project Number One, which oversaw the creation of posters, played a significant role in disseminating public health information through visually compelling art. The poster's design is simple yet impactful, with bold, clear typography and a striking color palette. The use of the stamp image reinforces the call to action, emphasizing the importance of taking decisive steps to protect one's health and the health of loved ones. Overall, this poster is a testament to the power of public health campaigns in shaping societal norms and promoting individual and collective well-being.
