From seventeenth-century broadsides about the handling of dead bodies, printed during London's plague years, to YouTube videos about preventing the transmission of STDs, public health advocacy and education has always had a powerful visual component. This book explores the diverse visual culture of public health, broadly defined, from the nineteenth century to the present.
