This color silkscreen is a cover for a 1938 information booklet for artists taking part in the Brooklyn Museum Print Show, and its title promises guidance on new techniques, markets, and the history of printmaking. The cover is credited to A. Velonis and was made under the Federal Art Project, the New Deal program that employed artists during the Depression and promoted silkscreen as an affordable way to make multiple images. The booklet reflects the museum's effort in these years to connect working printmakers with exhibitions and the wider market for prints.
