EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lithograph from 1935 showcases a significant moment in American history - the introduction of the Social Security program. The poster, part of a private collection, captures the essence of this groundbreaking initiative that aimed to provide financial security for senior citizens during the Great Depression. The image depicts an elderly hand holding a monthly check with bold text stating "A Monthly Check to You". This powerful visual symbolizes hope and relief for those facing poverty and retirement challenges at that time. Created by an anonymous American School artist, this lithograph served as a handout to inform citizens about their entitlements under the new Social Security Act. The poster art represents more than just financial assistance; it embodies FDR's New Deal policies and his commitment to creating a safety net for vulnerable members of society. With its depiction of Capitol Hill in Washington D. C. , it also signifies government involvement in providing support and care for seniors. As we look back on this piece from our twentieth-century past, we are reminded of the lasting impact that Social Security has had on millions of Americans over the years. It stands as a testament to Franklin Delano Roosevelt's vision and dedication towards improving lives through social welfare programs.
