Chinese public health posters

Previous post featuring health posters

  • They seem to be from back in the Nationalist era. Learned me a few names for sicknesses too. Nice post, dng.
  • What I have learned: Death rides a mosquito! Don't eat where people shit in the river.
  • Don't wear shiny patent-leather shoes with a dress.
  • These are just wonderful from a design perspective. Several are clearly influenced by western art trends, whereas others have a jarringly traditional appearance given their subject matter. Jolly fun albeit a tad graphic. *nervously picks at mosquito bite*
  • I like the column of vomit.
