EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage WPA poster, expertly illustrated by John Parrot, captures the essence of shame and its potential consequences. The cartoon figure depicted in the artwork is seen holding his face in his hands, conveying a deep sense of embarrassment and guilt. The powerful message on the poster reads, "Shame May Be Fatal. If You Fear You Have Contracted A Disease Don't Let False Shame Destroy Health & Happiness. Consult A Reputable Physician". The illustration technique used in this piece is reminiscent of past propaganda posters from wartime eras. Its vertical format makes it suitable for display in various public spaces to effectively communicate its important message. The vibrant colors and attention to detail highlight the responsibility individuals have towards their own health and well-being. This particular artwork was created during a time when healthcare resources were limited, emphasizing the importance of seeking professional medical help rather than succumbing to false shame. With no people present in the image, viewers are encouraged to reflect upon their own experiences with illness or embarrassment while contemplating the significance of seeking proper healthcare assistance. As an artifact from history, this vintage WPA poster evokes nostalgia and serves as a reminder that even though times may have changed, taking care of one's health remains paramount.
