Tuberculosis - Don't Kiss Me! Your Kiss of Affection - The Germ of Infection
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and poignant poster from the period between 1936 and 1941, created to raise awareness about the transmission of tuberculosis (TB), particularly among children. The image features a young child wearing a bib, looking up at the viewer with a sad expression, as if pleading for understanding. The title of the poster is written above the child in bold, red letters, with an image of a germ or bacterium depicted as a pair of lips, symbolizing the "kiss of affection" that could spread the disease. The poster is a testament to the progress made in public health education during this era, as well as the innovative ways in which administrators and artists collaborated to create effective and memorable messages. The WPA (Works Progress Administration) funded the creation of numerous posters during this time, employing artists and designers to produce works that would inform and engage the public on various social and health issues. The poster's message is clear and direct: TB is not spread through casual contact or casual kisses, but rather through the exchange of saliva or respiratory droplets. The image of a child wearing a bib emphasizes the importance of protecting young and vulnerable populations from the disease, as children were particularly susceptible to TB due to their weakened immune systems. The poster's simple yet effective design, combined with its powerful message, makes it a standout example of the public health posters produced during this time. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to convey important information in a memorable and engaging way, while also evoking emotions and inspiring action. Today, this poster serves as a reminder of the importance of public health education and the role that art and design can play in promoting health and wellbeing.
