Sleeping Sickness Kills…

Spread by tse tse flies. Traps kill tse tse flies. Use them.
African Medical & Research Foundation (AMREF), Nairobi, Kenya, ca. 1970.
Photomechanical print: color; 45 x 64 cm.

The fly, alive at the top of the poster, sits atop a jagged large red lightning bolt. It follows the path of the red bolt through the traps one suspended from a tree branch, the other hanging off a line between two poles—to the bottom of the poster, where it lies dead.
