ADVERTISING FOR HEALTH
ONGOING AS PART OF ART AND DESIGN IN THE MODERN AGE
Advertising for Health explores nearly a century of advertising for medicine, pharmacy, and public health. The installation features rare advertisements, printed ephemera, and posters from a recent gift by William H. Helfand, a recognized author and print collector. Together with a selection of printed materials and objects from a rarely-exhibited segment of The Wolfsonian collection, these works reflect through their design strategies changing ideas about health in the Americas and Europe between the late nineteenth century and the Second World War.
