French Health Poster from 1938 published by the Ministere de la Sante Publique (The Minister of Public Health) - Nous Pouvons Suprimer la Tuberculose (We can keep Tuberculosis under control), Achetez le nouveau Timbre Antituberculeux (Buy the new anti-TB stamp) - 1938. Internet research indicates that in the 1920s and 30''s ephemera such as booklets, bookmarks, advertisements and brochures stressing the importance of fresh air, sunshine, adequate nourishment and sufficient rest were issued by governments across Europe, but most particularly by the French (who always seem by be particularly concerned with germs). Annual Christmas seal campaigns in North America and Europe were regularly responsible for newly-minted posters and seals; they continue today. This is a wonderful poster -unlike some of the other health posters issued by the same Ministry (notably for syphilis) which were frightening in the extreme - it is spritely and happy and makes one think healthy thoughts. Poster is in excellent condition, was recently professionally lined on linen, and shows absolutely no signs of aging. It measures 47.5 x 31.5 inches. It will be shipped rolled in a poster tube.

These black and white posters were produced by a noted Dutch publisher of scientific books and posters called (really) Dr. Junk. The striped insect is labeled ''Tricohodes Favarius'' (Internet research reveals: Subfamily Hesperiinae: The grass skippers are members of the Family Hesperiidae. Distributed worldwide, they comprise more than 2,000 species, most of which are found in the American tropics. The small to medium-sized adults usually have abruptly angled antennae with an apiculus at the tip . Adults of many temperate species are predominantly orange, while brown is the most common color of the tropical species. Male forewings usually have a brand or stigma with specialized scales . Most species have long proboscises and are avid flower-visitors. Adults flight is rapid, and perching posture is unique: the hindwings are opened at a wider angle than the forewings. Males of most species perch while looking for mates. Caterpillars feed on monocotyledons (grasses and allied plants ) and live in silken leaf nests that sometimes extend underground. Grass skippers typically overwinter as caterpillars within their shelters) and the other is labeled crephilus maxillosus (otherwise known - evidently - as the hairy rove beetle. ''The Hairy Rove Beetle is perhaps the most impressive Rove Beetle in Alberta. This cosmopolitan species can be found in woods and wherever carrion is found, from spring to autumn. The elongate, parallel-sided body is 13-20 mm long. Like all Rove Beetles, the last several abdominal segments are exposed, and often curved up like a scorpion when running. The dark brown body is darkly hairy. There are glittering golden hairs across the abdomen and around the thorax. It has large, prominent eyes, and sharp needle-like jaws that close across each other in front of the head. The antennae are thick and have kind of a beaded appearance. Adults feed on insect larvae, often dining at the smorgasbord of insects that are associated with carrion. Larvae feed on carrion and fungi.'')

The political scene in Quebec has always been a source of inspiration for artists and social commentators - as well as for poster artists. As Marc Choko writes, inhis definitive works on Quebec posters: ''In Quebec, as in other parts of the world, the end of the 1960s and the decade of the 1970''s were marked by an abundance of social movements. The radicalization of certain independant political parties (those who wished to separate from the rest of Canada) after October 1970, the powerful rise of unions.... were reflected in the manner and material of a vaste number of militant posters. This one celebrates the ''5 jours des prisonniers politiques quebecois'' (5 days of Quebec''s Political Prisoners), and appears to have been a 5 day arts festival with concerts, film screenings, panel discussions and auctions, all for the benefit of political prisoners. In excellent condition, with pinholes in extreme corners. This poster was in the private collection of a noted jazz musician and producer and is only one of hundreds which we have just received. The others will be appearing in our ebay store shortly. The poster measures 18 x 24 inches and is unframed. All of our posters, prints and pochoirs are authentic, vintage items.
