Framed Print of STD Poster, She May Be...A Bag of Trouble
She may be...a bag of TROUBLE. Posters associating women with venereal disease frequently appealed to the viewing soldier by using illustrations of attractive or available women. This 1940 poster uses the technique of featuring the heavily made-up, cigarette-smoking woman as a venereal disease carrier. Appealing to the soldier's interest in the eye-catching woman, the headline playfully warns - She may be...a bag of TROUBLE. The contrasts in color, font size, and capitalization draw the viewer's attention to the word TROUBLE in an attempt to create an association between the word and the image. Below the warning, the inclusion of the words syphilis-gonorrhea further suggest to the viewer that this is not an appealing woman but a treacherous menace. © National Library of Medicine / Science Source
