Description An account of the resource The Frank Pinchak Poster Collection consists of a near-complete run pharmacy window displays designed and published by Frank Pinchak, a pharmacist in Paterson, New Jersey, in the 1950s and 1960s. Each set consisted of three posters: a main poster measuring 26 inches by 42 inches and two side posters measuring 14 inches by 26 inches. The posters educated consumers about a wide range of public health, pharmaceutical, medical, and other topics. Pinchak intended his"ethical displays" to be an alternative to commercial displays in pharmacy windows. Published by his company Professional Advancement Plan, Pinchak sold the posters to pharmacists around the country. He donated the posters to the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy in 2013. The collection is currently missing a few known posters including "The Miracle of Cortisone" and "What You Should Know About Cancer."

These "ethical displays" were designed and written by Frank Pinchak, a pharmacist from Paterson, New Jersey. Published by his company Professional Advancement Plan, Pinchak sold the posters to pharmacists around the country. He donated the posters to the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy in 2013. The main poster reads: "Asiatic Flu. Jan. 1957 - Northern China. March - Malaya, Singapore. May - Formosa, Japan. June - United States. It is highly probable that a fifth of our nation's population will contract Asiatic Flu during this fall-winter. For the first time in medical history, our country is ahead of a coming flu epidemic. Pharmaceutical manufacturers expect to have 80,000,000 doses of vaccine by February 1958." Side poster #1 reads: "Vaccine manufacture - Asian virus sample arrives from National Institutes of Health. Virus is injected into 11 day old eggs containing living chick embryos. Inoculated eggs are incubated for 48 hours which makes the virus multiply. Virus is "harvested" from eggs, concentrated, killed, and placed in ampules -- safe, potent. Distributed to pharmacies throughout the nation, refrigerated and supplied to your physician." Side poster #2 reads: "Asiatic Flu will not take the toll of the dreaded 1918 flu. We have - scientific knowledge about viruses, effective vaccines, antibiotics against secondary infections, advance warnings from foreign lands!" The images in this poster set depict problematic, stereotypical, insensitive, and potentially offensive representations of Asian people and Asian cultures.
