A stage poster billing a production titled *Nathan Hale* and naming two performers, Goodwin and Elliott, places this piece in the traveling theater trade of the late 1800s and early 1900s, when touring companies carried plays from town to town and posters were pasted up ahead of each engagement. The play honors the Connecticut-born schoolteacher and Revolutionary War officer who was captured as a spy and hanged by the British in 1776, and his reported last words made him a durable figure in American patriotic storytelling. Because Connecticut claims Hale as a native son, the subject carried extra local resonance in the state, and posters like this one show how the national legend was staged for audiences well beyond New England.
