Anna Held, the Polish-born singer and actress, is the star named on this poster for *The Little Duchess*, a musical comedy that played American stages in the early 1900s. Held was one of the most publicized performers of her day, and her marriage to producer Florenz Ziegfeld helped bring the couple's theatrical ventures into the public eye. Posters like this one were meant to be seen from across a street, so they relied on large lettering and a single bold image of the star to sell the show. Look closely at the lettering and layout to see how theatrical advertising of the period borrowed from the decorative poster styles then popular in Paris and New York.
