POSTER - BOOKS, c1938. A Bookmark Would Be Better! Promoting Proper Care for Library Books
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vintage poster from 1938 captures the essence of early American manners and highlights the importance of caring for library books. Created by Arlington Gregg, a talented illustrator from Chicago, this silkscreen print showcases his unique style and sense of humor. The image portrays a young boy engrossed in reading a book while ironing its pages with an iron labeled "Manners". The comical depiction emphasizes the message that using a bookmark is far more appropriate than resorting to extreme measures like ironing. Through this artwork, Gregg reminds us to treat books with respect and care. The vibrant colors and attention to detail draw viewers into the scene, making it impossible not to appreciate the cleverness behind this playful illustration. Commissioned during the era of Works Progress Administration (WPA) initiatives, this poster aimed to promote literacy and encourage responsible behavior among library-goers. It serves as a reminder that even in our digital age, printed books deserve our admiration and gentle handling. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable piece from their collection as a testament to both artistic talent and social consciousness prevalent in 1930s America. Let it inspire you to cherish your own personal library or remind others about proper book care etiquette – after all, nothing beats using a bookmark!
