EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the early 1900s, two men are seen intensely focusing on their task in a dimly lit poster room in New York City. The room is filled with an array of billboards and posters, each advertising various performances and events. In the foreground, the men are in the process of posting a large bill for the Criterion Theatre performance of "The Dictator," featuring the renowned actor William Collier. The historical significance of this image lies in the fact that it offers a glimpse into the advertising industry during a time when posters and billboards were the primary means of promoting cultural events to the masses. The men's determined expressions and the meticulous way they are attaching the poster to the free-standing board demonstrate the importance and care that went into the advertising process. The poster itself is a work of art, with bold typography and an intriguing image of Collier in character as "The Dictator." The image of Collier, dressed in military regalia and holding a scepter, exudes an air of authority and power, enticing potential audience members to attend the performance. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the rich history of advertising in America and the role it plays in shaping our cultural landscape. The men in the photograph may be long gone, but their dedication to promoting the arts through advertising continues to inspire and captivate us today. This photograph, with its intriguing subject matter and historical significance, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of advertising, theatre, or New York City. It is a testament to the power of visual communication and the enduring allure of the arts.
