This 1944 Poster Stamp Was Issued To Support The Iron Lung Fund, A Charity Dedicated To Providing Mechanical Ventilators For Polio Patients. During The 1940s, Polio Was A Major Public Health Crisis, With Outbreaks Leading To Paralysis And Respiratory Failure. Iron Lungs Were Essential For Keeping Patients Alive, As The Disease Could Severely Weaken Breathing Muscles. The Stamp Features A Holiday Theme With "Season’s Greetings," A Snowy Landscape, And Evergreen Trees As Part Of A Fundraising Campaign During The Christmas Season. Such Stamps Were Commonly Used By Health Organizations To Raise Awareness And Generate Donations. This Piece Reflects Both The Impact Of Polio And The Community Efforts To Combat It Through Medical Advancements.
