A centennial celebration in Monrovia, Liberia's capital, is the focus of this 1947 screen print, which advertises the Centennial Victory Exposition. The fair marked one hundred years since Liberia declared its independence in 1847, and the country used such events to showcase its progress and its standing among independent nations. Screen printing allowed flat, bold areas of color, which suited a poster meant to be read quickly by a crowd, and the technique gives the piece a vivid graphic quality worth studying up close.
