EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a poster advertising the play "The Night of January 16th" at the Savoy Theatre in San Diego during the winter of 1938. The poster is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the United States during the 1930s, specifically the Federal Theatre Project (FTP), an initiative of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Created to conserve and develop the skills of theater workers, re-employ them on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had never before experienced them, the FTP was a significant component of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. The poster's design is both visually striking and politically charged. The bold, colorful graphics, featuring the play's title in striking, stylized lettering, draw the eye and evoke a sense of excitement. The image of a clenched fist, a common symbol of political activism, underscores the play's potentially controversial content. The play, written by Alice O'Connor under the pseudonym Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum, was based on a short story by Ayn Rand. The play's political themes and exploration of individualism and collectivism resonated with the social and cultural climate of the time. This poster is a rare and valuable artifact of American history, providing a glimpse into the country's artistic and political landscape during the 1930s. Its discovery in the Library of Congress's extensive collection is a reminder of the enduring power of the arts to reflect and shape the cultural consciousness of a nation.
