Two (2) illustrated posters for elementary science classrooms, dated 1946 and 1961, offering insight into the material landscape of the classroom at that time. The first, published by General Mills in 1946, is focused on health and nutrition. It encourages students to make smart choices, including eating right, exercising, and visiting the doctor regularly. The verso is divided into two columns, and shows a "whiner" and a "whistler". The "whistler" is the good boy who eats slowly and drinks a quart of milk a day (thanks, Big Milk!), and the "whiner" is the bad child who hurries through his meal and doesn't drink his milk. A poster that very clearly pushes the commercial interests of its publisher (General Mills). In contrast, the second poster is published by an educational publisher (Scott Foresman and Co., now "Pearson"). It does not have an explicitly commercial agenda, save the sale of textbooks and ephemera to schools. It serves as a chart for a classroom weather record activity on the recto, and on the verso has physics experiments. Note the gender roles at play: the boy child works on the physics experiments, and the female child charts the weather. The posters measure approx. 34" by 22" and 38" by 25" Very good to near-fine. Pinholes where previously mounted. Folds, light toning.
