September 1950
September 1950
Archive ID: #SR209
Collection: Suppressed Records
Provenance: Inspired by artifacts discovered in the Blackwood Building in Oakhaven, MA-former headquarters of the Bureau of Records & Anomalies.
This stark, retro-style graphic perfectly mimics mid-century optimism while unearthing a chilling chapter of domestic military experimentation. At first glance, it is a wholesome scene of Americana under the Golden Gate Bridge. Look closer, and the dark truth of September 1950 is revealed: a clandestine naval vessel covertly spraying Serratia marcescens bacteria into the coastal fog, blanketing unsuspecting citizens in a massive biological warfare simulation.
A masterful blend of vintage advertising aesthetic and classified history, this design is crafted specifically for truth-seekers, history buffs, and those who prefer their nostalgia with a heavy dose of subversive reality.
