Face the Facts: Help Control Syphilis - Reported Cases: 100,000 under 19 Years of Age, 13,000 between 11 and 15 This powerful poster, created between 1936 and 1941, serves as a stark reminder of the prevalence of syphilis during that era, particularly among young people. The image of a concerned adult, with a serious expression, directly addressing the viewer, conveys the urgency of the situation. The use of bold numbers and clear typography effectively communicates the scale of the problem. The poster is a product of the Federal Works Progress Administration (WPA), a New Deal agency that employed artists, writers, and other professionals during the Great Depression. The WPA's Poster Art Project aimed to create visual materials to promote public health and social welfare. This particular poster, with its compelling message and striking design, is a testament to the project's success. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease that can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. The high number of reported cases among young people, including those as young as 11, underscores the need for education and prevention efforts. The poster's call to action, "Help Control Syphilis," encourages viewers to take steps to protect themselves and their communities. The poster's design is simple yet effective, with a clear hierarchy of information and a strong visual focus. The use of red and black, colors associated with warning and urgency, adds to the poster's impact. Overall, this poster is a powerful tool for raising awareness and promoting public health, and it remains a valuable historical artifact today.
