Shakespeare Crowded Out Poster

Despite efforts to appeal across social and economic classes, some still considered vaudeville to be a vulgar, low-class form of entertainment. Yet it's popularity was unquestionable. In this poster sized reproduction of an editorial cartoon from the New York World, the artist inquires, ''what will follow the present era of comic opera, sensationalist melodrama and performing animals?''

This limited run of 250 posters was created for the Spring 2018 exhibition Vaudeville!.
