*Cumberland '61* takes its name from 1861, the year the Civil War began, which tells viewers the production is set in that conflict. Franklin Fyles made the poster during an era when lithographed posters were the main way to sell a play to passersby on city streets. Civil War melodramas were a staple of American theater for decades after the war, and posters for them were designed to catch the eye with bold lettering and dramatic imagery. The piece is worth a close look for how it presents the play's title and its wartime subject to audiences who might never see the show.
