A theatrical poster from the 1880s, titled "Madam Girard Gyer," uses the name of Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, the French sculptor who designed the Statue of Liberty, to draw audiences to the stage. Such posters were often built around topical names and events, and the statue was then a widely discussed subject, with France's gift still under construction and American fundraising for its pedestal under way. The poster shows how quickly the statue's image and reputation spread beyond the harbor into popular entertainment. Its promotional language and lettering also reflect the bold, crowded style that theater advertisers used to compete for street attention.
