In the early 20th century, public health reformers turned to visual exhibits to educate Americans about the importance of sanitary conditions and epidemic prevention. Through a series of displays that ranged from small storefront windows to massive installations, these reformers aimed to make systemic health issues visible to the masses. By harnessing the power of visual media, they sought to convey messages about individual responsibility and the need for collective action. This book delves into the world of these early 20th-century displays, revealing the ways in which they were used to shape public opinion and promote health reform. With its unique blend of history, sociology, and visual culture, this work offers a fascinating look at the intersection of health, education, and society during the Progressive Era. Through its analysis, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between health, power, and the public sphere.
