About the Item
Alice Dick Dumas' 1918 original poster, titled "Sauvez Votre Bébé ! La Mort Le Guette?" (Save Your Baby! Death Lurks), stands as a poignant reminder of a bygone era's challenges and a testament to the power of visual advocacy. This poster not only conveys a vital message about infant mortality but also showcases the compassionate artistry of its creator, Alice Dick Dumas.
Alice Dick Dumas, an accomplished artist and illustrator, lent her talents to an array of social causes during the early 20th century. Her work was marked by a deep sense of empathy and a dedication to using art as a means of raising awareness.
The 1918 poster "Sauvez Votre Bébé ! La Mort Le Guette?" is a masterpiece of emotive design. Its composition is both striking and heartbreaking, utilizing a monochromatic palette that underscores the gravity of the message. The poster's central image features a mother cradling her frail infant, surrounded by symbols of death, including a grim reaper-like figure.
Dumas' choice of stark imagery was intentional, as it aimed to convey the urgency of the message: infant mortality was a dire issue that demanded immediate attention. The French text implores parents to save their babies, serving as a rallying cry for public health awareness.
Infant mortality was a significant concern during this period, exacerbated by factors such as disease and malnutrition. Dumas' poster was part of a broader public health campaign to educate parents about the importance of hygiene, nutrition, and proper care for infants.
Original copies of this poster, though rare, remain a symbol of the era's commitment to improving public health. They are a testament to an era when artists like Alice Dick Dumas used their talents to advocate for positive change in society.
