Abstract:
Beige poster with black and white lettering. The illustration is of a reproduction of a pastel drawing signed by Jodelet, 1926. Three jockeys on horses gallop on a grassy racetrack. The two leading jockeys have "tuberculose" and "syphilis" respectively in white letters across the horses' flanks. The third horse, which lags far behind, has "cancer" across its flank. In the foreground, a lone spectator of the race, a skeleton with a sheet draped over its head and back, leans forward and raises a glass to its eye as it watches the two leading horses. To the left of the skeleton are the numbers of annual deaths from tuberculosis (150,000), syphilis (140,000), and cancer (40,000). At the bottom, "Office d'hygiène sociale de Tarn-&-Garonne" is on a slip pasted on the poster. To the right of the slip: "Vu: Le ministre du travail, de l'hygiène, de l'assistance, et de prévoyance sociales."
