Help To Grow Tomi Ungerer Healthcare

£500.00

Original vintage health education campaign poster for the American Hospital Association to encourage children to consider a career in healthcare - Help To Grow Grow To Help be a hospital helper when you grow up - featuring a fun cartoon design by the renowned poster artist Tomi Ungerer (1931-2019) depicting a smiling young boy in a white shirt and jeans holding a stethoscope to a tree wrapped in medical white bandages around the trunk with blossoming pink flowers and green leaves above, set against a dark background with the text on the green grass below. Part of a health careers kit of posters, postcards and wall folders to promote employment opportunities and training to become a nurse or doctor or other medical job, this would have been sent to schools and libraries across America. Tomi Ungerer was the commissioned artist for this campaign; he worked as an author and illustrator of children's books, as well as now iconic political posters protesting the Vietnam War and US racial injustice in the 1960s. Excellent condition.
