Mistakes Will Happen" is a theatrical poster credited to Grant Stewart, and its title hints at the human error and second chances that give sports stories much of their drama. Posters like this were meant to be read quickly from a theater front or lobby board, so they leaned on one striking image, bold lettering, and a short line of copy to draw a passerby in. Among the sports-themed works in this collection, it shows how a commercial artist of the period had to capture a story's central tension in a single frame. Looking closely at the composition and type reveals how much meaning the design packed into a few seconds of viewing.
