My, how times have changed. Now, we are dealing with parents who refuse to #vaccinate their children.

By the time we hit the 1970s & 80s, #PSA posters were everywhere and covering a variety of social concerns, from everybody’s favorite bear telling you how to prevent forest fires to #StarWars characters reminding you to vaccinate your children. This is also the moment when the idea of celebrity or pop culture entering into the PSA space really takes hold. Remember when at the end of GI Joe cartoons you’d see a “knowing is half the battle” clip or when there’d be a “very special” episode of a popular teenage show, typically discussing issues of domestic violence, teen pregnancy, or drug use? Using familiar, beloved characters to get a message across proved very, very effective and started to dominate the PSA genre.

By the time the USA had entered #WorldWarII, #poster #PSA messaging shifted toward how you, as a non-enlisted citizen, could help the country and your community. So, posters about carpooling to save resources became commonplace (re: the image is saying that you’re helping Hitler win if you don’t rideshare), as did posters instructing women to save cans for ammunition or kitchen grease for explosives.

2. Save Your Cans, McClelland Barclay, 1943.

For those following, you might like to hear that my happy trawling through various art archives & state registers of births & death confirms that he was indeed the artist behind some famous posters currently held in Swiss collections, from the golden age of tourism advertising. I'm uncovering all sorts of interesting stories in this search that might be worth writing up, if only for my own family. Thanks for yr suggestions & for sharing the ride! #art #artSuisse #albertproetel #vintagePosters
