Oddly enough, the term “mad as a hatter” comes from eighteenth-century England, where millinery workers who used felt (which used mercury in processing the material) to make hats were subjected to long-term mercury exposure, resulting in dementia. Countless women in New York City were subjected to perilous safety conditions making hats, shirts, dresses and other garments in factories that were run and owned by men. Miss Ida L.Weber ran her own company in a time when industry was totally dominated by male ownership, and I tip my hat to her. I worked as a dental office manager around the block from Miss Weber when I found this sign in the spring of 1997 tucked quietly in the entryway of 48 West 22nd Street, where she still greets passersby with a quiet downward glance. -Frank H. Jump - Fading Ads of NYC, History Press 2011 ABOUT THE ARTIST: Frank H. Jump conceived The Fading Ad Campaign as a photographic project documenting vintage mural ads on building brick faces in New York City spanning nearly a century. It has become a metaphor for survival since, like the artist, many of these ads have long outlived their expected life span. Although this project doesn’t deal directly with HIV/AIDS, it is no accident Jump has chosen to document such a transitory and evanescent subject. Of the countless ads Jump has photographed, many have already been covered up, vandalized, or destroyed. But still many silently cling to the walls of buildings, barely noticed by the rushing passersby. Jump is a retired NYC educator and his work has been exhibited throughout the last 30 years from the N-Y Historical Society to venues in Brooklyn and as far as Athens Greece during the Summer Olympics in 2006.
