The Dingbats Take to Atomic Energy - Frosst Pharmaceuticals 1960s (5094

Part of a series of posters and calendars. In this one, it is a poster only with no calendar attached. Good vintage condition. Measures 16 in by 14 in. Note that it is not in pristine condition please see photos. It has also been totally laminated on both sides with the plastic extending to the outside of the poster. Research Facts: From 1915 until 1996, health professionals all over Canada received a calendar which featured the healing efforts of the Dingbats. Charles Edward Frosst founded the Canadian company that bore his name until 1965 when it was taking over by a major American manufacturer to become Merck - Frosst. Charles Frost engaged the artist, William Dudley Burnett Ward, to paint an appealing character for distribution to his firm's audience. Over the course of 81 years, there have been a long succession of artists following Ward. The dingbat calendars were discontinued as a result of a Canadian Industries Association decision that the Dingbat promotion was unfair competition. We have other posters from Frosst and bundles save on shipping. Check out the closet. Thanks 5094
