POSTER - BOOKS, c1938. This Breaks the Back of a Book! A whimsical reminder to care for library books
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This vintage poster from 1938 captures the essence of early American manners and proper book care. Created by Arlington Gregg, a talented illustrator from Chicago, this silkscreen print showcases a young boy performing an impressive handstand on top of a towering stack of books. With its humorous illustration and clever message, this poster aims to promote responsible behavior when handling library books. The image serves as a playful reminder that mishandling or neglecting these precious literary treasures can have dire consequences – it literally breaks their backs! The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the boy's mischievous expression as he balances precariously on one hand while clutching another book with his free hand. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition make this artwork visually captivating. Commissioned during the WPA era (Works Progress Administration), this piece reflects not only artistic talent but also cultural values at that time. It encourages readers to treat library books with respect and highlights the importance of good manners in society. Granger Art on Demand presents this nostalgic print from their collection, reminding us all to cherish our beloved books and handle them with care for future generations to enjoy.
