Conquer Tuberculosis, the late 1940s public health charity poster ("Christmas Seals fight Tuberculosis") promoting the purchase of Christmas seals to help combat tuberculosis, and featuring artwork of an infected man in a crowd and the logo for the National Tuberculosis Association. Note that Christmas seals are labels placed on mail during the Christmas season to raise funds and awareness for charitable programs. They were introduced to the United States by Emily Bissell in 1907, after she had read about the 1904 Danish Christmas seal program. By 1908, Bissell's idea grew to a national program administered by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis (later known as the National Tuberculosis Association). Today the Christmas seals benefit the American Lung Association and other lung related issues. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that normally, we would send linenbacked items rolled in a tube, but because this item is very small, and because rolling it might caused it to have creases, we intend to send it in a small flat package instead (however, if the purchaser of this item also purchases other linen items, and absolutely wants us to send it rolled with those other linens, we will do so). What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The item was linenbacked. The restorer backed it "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to any of its defects (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
