EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage poster for Henrik Ibsen's "The Wild Duck," a classic play produced by the Federal Theatre Project in San Diego, California, in 1936. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to preserve and enhance the skills of theater workers, provide them with employment on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had previously never experienced such cultural events. The poster's design is a striking representation of the play's title, "The Wild Duck," with a majestic mallard duck gracing the center. The lettering, in bold, elegant script, is reminiscent of the Art Deco style popular during the 1930s. The background, in earthy tones, adds a sense of warmth and depth to the image. The poster's text, written in crisp, clear lettering, announces the play's title, "The Wild Duck," and the location, "Savoy Theatre," as well as the date and the Federal Theatre Project's sponsorship. Henrik Ibsen's name is prominently displayed, acknowledging the playwright's seminal role in the development of modern drama. This poster is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s, a time when the New Deal's Works Progress Administration provided vital support to the arts and brought the transformative power of live theater to communities across the country.
