What Anne Brought Home" is a 1936 silkscreen poster from the Federal theater Project, one of the arts programs of the Works Progress Administration, and its record ties it to theatrical productions in California. The Federal theater Project put unemployed actors, designers, and stagehands back to work during the Depression, and it used posters like this one to publicize its shows to local audiences. The WPA poster units favored silkscreen because it allowed bold flat areas of color and inexpensive runs of many copies. Its subject listing also includes couples, so the poster's imagery likely centers on a pair of figures.
