The title on this theatrical poster, *The Ensign, awaiting the execution of the Ensign*, points to a drama built around a naval officer under sentence of death, a premise that gave audiences plenty of tension. Posters like this were meant to be read quickly from a street wall, so their bold lettering and dramatic scene were designed to draw passersby into the theater. The record gives few details about the production or its date, but it reflects a popular taste for stories of sea service and duty under pressure.
