The 49th Annual Exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago was a showcase for new work by American artists, and this poster was designed to draw the public to it. Annual exhibitions of this kind gave local painters and sculptors a major stage and helped shape artistic taste in the Midwest. Its place on a patriotic board reflects how many American cultural events of the period leaned on national themes, though the record does not describe the design's imagery in detail. Posters like this were meant to be read quickly on city streets and in shop windows, so their lettering and graphic simplicity are worth a close look.
