EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Circus" [193-], showcases the magic and wonder of the Children's Circus during the 1930s in the United States. The image, created by an unknown artist, is a testament to the Federal Theatre Project (FTP), an initiative established by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1935. The FTP aimed to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to communities across the country, including those who had never before experienced such cultural events. The vibrant and colorful poster invites viewers to attend the circus with the enticing offer of "Rebate Tickets - Free - Ask Us for them Inside." The circus scene is depicted with a circus tent in the background, a clown with a red nose and oversized shoes, an elephant with its trunk raised, and a performer with intricately designed face paint. The graphic design of the poster is a stunning example of the heritage art of the era, with its bold lettering and playful use of color. The poster's text also reveals the political context of the time, with references to the New Deal and the WPA. The FTP was a significant part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal program, which provided employment opportunities and social services to millions of Americans during the Great Depression. This photograph print is not only a beautiful piece of graphic design but also a historical artifact that captures the spirit of the era and the power of the arts to bring joy and wonder to people's lives.
