EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print is a rare surviving relic from the Federal Theatre Project (FTP), an essential component of the New Deal's Works Progress Administration (WPA) initiated in 1935. The FTP aimed to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ artists, and bring live performances to communities across the United States that had previously been deprived of such cultural experiences. The print, titled "Tamed and How 1, New Rochelle, NY," is attributed to the enigmatic artist Charles H. Harrison. The design showcases a romantic scene from a play, with a man and woman gazing into each other's eyes under the soft glow of a single light bulb. The background is a rich navy blue, contrasting the bold red and white lettering that spells out the title and location. The play's title, "Tamed and How," suggests a tale of love and transformation. The playbill's design is reminiscent of the Western Script typeface, popular during the 1930s, and the capitalized, colorful text exudes a sense of excitement and allure. The poster's political significance lies in its role as a testament to the FTP's mission to make the arts accessible to all Americans during a time of economic hardship. This precious piece of heritage art now resides in the Library of Congress, a fitting home for such an essential piece of American cultural history.
