The Red Letter Poster

This striking poster, titled 'The Red Letter,' features a bold and graphic design with a limited color palette of red, black, and white. The artwork depicts three figures, possibly performers or characters from a play, rendered in a stylized, Art Nouveau-inspired manner. The central figure on the left wears a ruffled collar and a red cap, engrossed in reading. To the right, another figure in a similar costume is also engaged with reading material. In the foreground, a third figure, also with a red cap, is shown in profile, her face a dramatic contrast of black and white with red lips. The background is a dark, patterned fabric with floral motifs. The overall aesthetic is theatrical and evocative, with a strong emphasis on line and form. The poster is a lithograph by Forbes Co. Boston, signed "- BIRD -".
