EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lithograph from 1900 showcases the poster advertising Olga Nethersole's role in the play "Sapho" by Clyde Fitch. The image takes us back to a time when theatre was at the forefront of entertainment, and this particular production caused quite a stir in New York City. Nethersole, along with others involved in the play, were arrested on charges of violating public decency. However, they were ultimately found innocent. The poster itself is a work of art, capturing the essence of early 20th-century American theatre. It features an elegant English actress who exudes grace and sophistication. The composition draws attention to her commanding presence as she stands against a backdrop that hints at both drama and sensuality. This lithograph serves as a reminder of how censorship and societal norms have evolved over time. In an era where obscenity laws were more stringent than today, this provocative advertisement pushed boundaries and challenged traditional notions of propriety. Preserved by the Library of Congress, this print offers us a glimpse into turn-of-the-century America through its depiction of theatre culture and its brush with controversy. It is not just a piece for commercial use but also an important historical artifact that sheds light on the artistic expression and social dynamics prevalent during that period. Overall, this image invites us to explore the intersection between artistry, freedom of expression, and societal expectations in early 20th-century America.
