EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage poster, created by American artist Horace Devitt Welsh around 1918, serves as a powerful reminder of the efforts made to combat venereal diseases among First World War American troops. Published as part of the U. S. Committee on Public Information's Division of Pictorial Publicity campaign, this striking illustration aimed to raise awareness and promote sexual health and cleanliness. In an era when sexually transmitted infections such as syphilis and gonorrhea were rampant within military ranks, this poster stands as a historical artifact highlighting the importance of disease prevention. With its bold colors and attention-grabbing design, it effectively conveyed a message that resonated with soldiers on the frontlines. As we gaze upon this archival print today, we are transported back in time to an era marked by sacrifice and struggle. It reminds us of the immense challenges faced by those serving their country during World War I while also shedding light on broader issues surrounding public health at that time. Beyond its historical significance, this artwork is a testament to Welsh's talent as an illustrator. His skillful execution captures both the gravity of the subject matter and his commitment to creating impactful visual narratives. Preserved for over a century, this poster continues to serve as a poignant symbol not only of wartime struggles but also of our ongoing fight against infectious diseases worldwide.
