About the Item
Original "Children's Year" Health of the Child is Power of the Nation vintage poster. Archival linen backed original 1919 horizontal.
Lathrop, the Children's Bureau's first director, soon commissioned several studies to investigate the causes and conditions of infant mortality. She wanted hard data to dispel the notions that child death was inevitable or an act of God, and to prove that infant mortality was not about genetics but rather environment.
Lathrop's research showed that children often died from infections and conditions that could be prevented. To spread the facts, the Bureau published a series of advice pamphlets on infant care.
Children's Bureau under Lathrop created a powerful, lasting legacy in the U.S. — the idea that every child has a right to a childhood.
"That every kid has a right to dependency," she says. "That they don't have to support themselves, and that the government is the parent of last resort if everything else fails."
Rare horizontal poster. Linen-backed original in excellent condition. PRINTED BY: The WF Powers Company. An American World War I era poster combining The US Children's Bureau and the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense. The woman's committee of the Council of National Defense had branches throughout the US during 1917-1922. It is well documented with active correspondences between women during post-war time.
The artist of this interesting poster is Frances Luis Mora(1874 - 1940) He was born in Uruguay, and moved to the US as a boy. His father was a sculptor.
