EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage World War II poster, digitally enhanced by John Parrot, transports us back in time to an era where propaganda played a crucial role in shaping society's behavior. The illustration depicts a soldier coughing on another soldier's food, accompanied by the powerful message: "Cover Coughs Cover Sneezes, Never give a germ a break!". The artwork showcases the old-fashioned illustration technique commonly used during that period and serves as an advertisement for good hygiene practices within the military. It highlights the importance of preventing illness through proper etiquette while eating and emphasizes the consequences of unhygienic behavior. In this indoor scene, three men are depicted engaging in their mealtime routine. However, one soldier's disrespectful act of sneezing without covering his mouth disgustingly contaminates his comrade's food. This image effectively conveys both the physical and social issues surrounding health and cleanliness during wartime. As a form of communication, this vertical poster aims to motivate soldiers towards better hygiene practices as part of their patriotic duty. By urging them to cover their coughs and sneezes diligently, it aligns with the war effort's objective to maintain optimal health among troops. John Parrot masterfully captures American history through this iconic piece that symbolizes guidance and advice for maintaining personal health amidst challenging circumstances. Its retro style evokes nostalgia for 20th-century aesthetics while reminding us of our collective responsibility to protect ourselves from germs - even during times of war.
