• This is a circa 1936-1938 photo of a art deco style public health service poster that says \"Stamp out Syphilis and Gonorrhea have you had your blood test and examiniation\" Though this poster seems funny to us in modern times, as you can see from the information below there was a time when those two diseases were a serious health threat
• Al Capone died from syphilis and also had gonorrhea

Around the turn of the twentieth century, syphilis was a public health disaster in the United States of America Because of the lack of official reporting of cases to public authorities, estimates of its incidence are difficult to obtain; however, the figure has been estimated conservatively at ten percent to fifteen percent of the general population from about 1900 to 1920, although its occurrence was presumed to be higher among men than women. Furthermore, since it is transmitted primarily through sexual contact, syphilis was a huge stigma that all individuals wanted to avoid. When people did contract the disease, they were therefore inclined to hide it from the public so as to avoid being permanently branded by their communities. Because of the disgrace associated with syphilis, the topic was generally avoided by the public and the media, such that a veil of secrecy came to conceal it. As one author wrote in 1920,

\"The third great plague is syphilis, a disease which, in these times of public enlightenment, is still shrouded in obscurity, entrenched behind a barrier of silence, and armed, by our own ignorance and false shame, with a thousand times its actual power to destroy. . . . It is one of the ironies, the paradoxes, of fate that the disease against which the most tremendous advances have been made, the most brilliant victories won, is the third great plague, syphilis the disease that still destroys us through our ignorance or our refusal to know the the early 1930\'s there were close to 700,000 new infections of Gonorrhea annually

I am not in this for a \"fast buck.\"  I genuinely love history and I love the photographs I sell, every single one of them. 

I realized a long time ago, I\'m not just selling \"photos.\"

I\'m selling joy, happiness, sadness, misery, nostalgia, admiration, appreciation, interest, love, hate, and every other human emotion that are depicted in these photos or the emotions they invoke in you and/or the people who look at them. 

Most photos depict more than one or will invoke more than one of the above emotions in you and the viewers of your photo.

You want to be treated courteously and respectfully.  You want your item in the best possible condition in the fastest time possible.  You want a responsive seller when you have needs who can take care of you before and after a sale (someone who doesn\'t just \"disappear\" on you after you already gave them your money)
