EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print depicts Alice, the iconic protagonist from Lewis Carroll's beloved tale "Alice in Wonderland," in the company of the Red Queen during a musical production in Portland, Oregon, in 1938. The image is an original poster for a theatrical adaptation of Carroll's work, which was presented by the Oregon W.P.A. Theatre as part of the Federal Theatre Project. Established in 1935 by the U.S. Works Progress Administration, the Federal Theatre Project aimed to preserve and enhance the skills of theater workers, provide employment for them on public relief, and bring live theatrical performances to thousands of Americans who had previously never experienced such cultural events. This initiative was a significant part of the New Deal, a series of programs and projects designed to provide relief and employment during the Great Depression. The poster showcases Alice, dressed in a charming blue dress, interacting with the Red Queen, who is depicted with her distinctive crown and a flamingo as a makeshift umbrella. The design is a beautiful blend of color and graphic elements, with intricate lettering and a playful, whimsical aesthetic that perfectly captures the spirit of Carroll's story. The poster also mentions the musical elements of the production, including original songs and dances, adding to the overall allure and excitement of the event. This photograph print is an essential piece of American heritage art, representing a unique moment in the country's cultural history. It is a testament to the power of the performing arts to entertain, inspire, and bring people together, even during challenging times. The image is a vibrant reminder of the enduring appeal of Alice in Wonderland and the magic of live theater.
