Note that this poster features incredible Theodora Pfeifer art of a man and woman kissing with a skull in the background, indicating spreading syphilis is like killing those you have contact with. The French writing on the poster translates to "Syphilis is a social scourge, its victims are countless. Many people are affected without knowing it. Syphilis of parents is one of the main causes of illness and death of newborns and children. A large number of chronic diseases are of syphilitic origin. Syphilis is a serious but fortunately curable disease. For all syphilitic, it is a duty to cure oneself and to avoid transmitting one's evil." Artist: Theodora Pfeifer Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this incredible poster! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Note that this poster ships in a very long tube (at least 33" long, but possibly 50" long or more). Therefore the shipping for this poster will be more than that for a poster that ships in a tube 32" or shorter, and possibly much more. Please bear this added shipping expense in mind before bidding on this poster. You can tell how long of a tube this poster needs to ship in by looking at the shorter dimension of its length and width and then adding 4" to that (so a 47" x 63" poster will need to ship in a 51" long tube). Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine. The poster was never folded. It had a small tear in the top right blank corner and a tiny tear near the middle of the right blank border, with a few very tiny pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was mounted on a somewhat thinner linen, and it displays well! Learn More about condition grades
