Eric Grimwade, a journalist and commentator, is the featured speaker on this 1940 poster announcing a public forum in Des Moines, Iowa. The Federal Art Project printed it in silkscreen, a stencil process that let artists produce bright, flat-color posters cheaply in quantity. The date stamped on the back, October 29, 1940, places it weeks before the November presidential election. Town meetings like this one gave Depression-era communities a place to gather and debate current affairs, and their posters now record how such public talks were advertised.
