Anna Held, the French-born singer whose lively stage presence made her one of Broadway's leading attractions, is the name that anchors this poster for *The Little Duchess*, a musical comedy staged in New York around 1901. The production was associated with Florenz Ziegfeld, who was then building his reputation for lavish shows and used Held as a central draw. Posters like this one were pasted on city walls and theater fronts to pull in audiences, and their bold lettering and glamorous figures show how theatrical advertising of the era tried to sell a star and a spectacle at the same time.
