EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a young boy, likely Jack, from the beloved fairytale "Jack and the Beanstalk," climbing the enormous green stalk of the giant's beanstalk in the heart of New York City during the 1930s. The image is a testament to the power of the arts to transport us to fantastical worlds, even in the midst of challenging times. The Federal Theatre Project, a New Deal program created by the U.S. Works Progress Administration in 1935, is responsible for this enchanting piece. The project aimed to conserve and develop theater skills, re-employ theater workers, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced them. The poster's design is a stunning example of graphic art from the era, with its bold lettering, cream color palette, and intricate illustration. The image of Jack climbing the beanstalk against the backdrop of a cityscape adds an unexpected twist to the classic tale, making it both timeless and contemporary. The Library of Congress holds this poster in its extensive collection, a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of American theater and the importance of preserving it for future generations. The Federal Theatre Project's influence on the arts and entertainment industry during the 1930s was significant, and this poster is a testament to its enduring impact.
