Big Blow, New York, 1938: A Dramatic Poster from the Federal Theatre Project This poster announces the performance of "Big Blow" at Maxine Elliott's Theatre in New York City during the tumultuous year of 1938. The Federal Theatre Project, an initiative of the U.S. Works Progress Administration, brought the arts to the masses during the Great Depression. The poster's design is a testament to the era's graphic sensibilities. The title, "Big Blow," is written in bold, red, capital letters, with the subtitle "A Play in Three Acts" in a smaller, cream color below. A graphic representation of a hurricane, complete with swirling winds and rain, dominates the background. Two figures, a man and a woman, huddle together against the storm, their faces etched with determination and resolve. The poster's text is set in a Western script, adding to its vintage charm. The play's creator, Theodore Pratt, is credited at the bottom left, while the Federal Theatre Project's logo appears at the bottom right. This poster is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the political and artistic climate of the United States during the 1930s. It represents the spirit of the New Deal era, when the government took an active role in providing entertainment and employment opportunities for its citizens. The poster's design is as much a part of the theatrical experience as the performance itself, and it serves as a reminder of the power of art to transport us to another time and place.
