About this work

Description

Top, a roundel showing tuberculosis patients lying on their beds in a crowded TB hospital, with the windows wide open at night. Top right, the sun coming out through the clouds. Below, the text describes the distress of tuberculosis, which brings an end to the joys of life. Cure is possible, but it is tedious and demoralising. An appeal is made to the public to support the lottery organized by, and for, the tuberculous patients of the Bellevue and Bon Accueil sanatoriums of L'Hérault. The prizes include 1933 models of a Peugeot car and a Peugeot motorcycle
