Drawn by children's illustrator and author May Gibbs in 1919, this public health poster was part of a New South Wales government campaign to encourage readers, especially children, to wear masks in order to limit the spread of the deadly Spanish flu pandemic (1918–19); 12000 Australians died, 6300 of them in New South Wales.
Soldiers returning from WWI and infected people were quarantined, wearing masks in public places was made compulsory, schools were closed and public activities were banned or restricted.
