Bronson Howard's "Shenandoah" takes its name from the Shenandoah Valley, the Virginia farmland that changed hands repeatedly during the Civil War and gives this poster its regional focus. The "Greater" billing points to a touring company promoting a large production, a common approach for American theatrical posters of the late 1800s. Howard was one of the most successful playwrights of his era, and his Civil War drama drew audiences across the country long after the conflict had ended. The lithograph reflects how theaters then used bold color and dramatic illustration to sell the spectacle of wartime stories to the public.
