About this clipart
This WPA-era public health poster, produced by the New York City Department of Correction, uses bold typography and symbolic imagery-a rotary dial crossed out with a red X-to convey urgency around syphilis treatment. It highlights the alarming statistic that 70% of patients are “doomed” if treatment is delayed three years post-infection, urging immediate consultation with a reputable physician. The design reflects early 20th-century health campaigns aimed at reducing stigma and promoting timely medical intervention.
Used in historical public health exhibits, educational resources on epidemiology, or museum displays about vintage health messaging; targets users researching medical history, graphic design evolution, or disease prevention campaigns.
