A silk screen by Carol Summers, a printmaker born in 1925, puts the Italian poet Francesco Petrarca at its center, with the title *Citizen of the World*. Petrarch lived from 1304 to 1374 and is often called a father of humanism. His sonnets addressed to a woman he called Laura, and his revival of classical Latin scholarship, shaped European literature for centuries. The record links the poster to the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C., which suggests an institutional connection, though the date and promotional purpose are noted as unverified.
