EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from the WPA Federal Theatre production of "The Emperor's New Clothes" by Charlotte Chorpenning, held at the Majestic Theatre during the 1930s. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration (WPA), was established in 1935 to preserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theatre workers, and bring live performances to thousands of Americans who had never experienced them before. In this image, we see a group of people, including men and children, gathered around a looking glass, intently observing the Emperor as he examines his new clothes. The Emperor, dressed in what appears to be garter pants and a colorful, flattering outfit, looks confidently into the mirror, seemingly unaware that he is in fact wearing nothing at all. The scene is filled with humor and irony, reflecting the play's themes of flattery, deception, and the power of perception. The graphic design of the playbill is simple yet effective, with bold lettering and a striking color palette that captures the attention of the viewer. The image of the Emperor, dressed in his "new clothes," is a visual representation of the play's enduring message about the importance of self-confidence and the power of belief, even in the face of deception. This print is a valuable piece of American cultural heritage, showcasing the rich history of the Federal Theatre Project and the enduring appeal of Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale.
