EDITORS COMMENTS
Prologue to Glory 2, New York, 1938: A Captivating Poster from the Federal Theatre Project Step back in time to the heart of the 1930s in America with this poster for Prologue to Glory 2, a theatrical production staged at Maxine Elliott's Theatre in New York. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration, brought the magic of live theatre to thousands across the United States, including those who had never before experienced it. The poster, created in 1938, features a striking design in cream and green colors. At the center, an authoritative and determined-looking man, identified as E.P. Conkle, stands tall against a green background. The use of capital letters and bold lettering adds to the sense of drama and importance, while the image of Abraham Lincoln in the background pays homage to the country's rich heritage. The Federal Theatre Project was a significant part of the New Deal, a series of programs and projects implemented by the U.S. government to provide employment and stimulate the economy during the Great Depression. The project not only provided work for theatre workers but also brought live theatre to communities across the country, making it an essential part of America's cultural heritage. This poster, with its striking design and political undertones, is a testament to the power of the arts to inspire, entertain, and bring people together. Whether you're a fan of theatre, history, or graphic design, this poster is sure to capture your imagination and transport you back to a bygone era.
