Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Posters, postcards, even postage stamps — public awareness and lifestyle modification activities aimed at preventing disease utilised multiple channels. This collection includes materials from many former Soviet Republics and the Ministry of Health of the People’s Republic of China.
The materials featured in this collection came about in response to epidemics, as a means of facilitating the health of pregnant women, nurses and children, combating addictions, encouraging personal hygiene, and mitigating occupational health issues. Some of the earliest items were issued in the early 20th century.
