This silkscreen poster, produced under the Federal Art Project, presents the tale of Snow White and the seven dwarfs as a children's subject. Its 1936 date comes a year before Walt Disney's animated film reached theaters, so it reflects the story's popularity in books and storytelling hours rather than the movie. Federal Art Project posters like this one were often used to advertise free library, recreation, and children's programs. The stamp on its back, dated March 24, 1941, shows it was circulated years after printing. Its flat, bold color areas reflect the inexpensive silkscreen method the project used to produce posters in quantity.
