Elmer Rice's *Counsellor-at-Law* is the subject here, billed as a gripping drama in this 1938 silkscreen. The play first opened on Broadway in 1931 and follows a Manhattan attorney and the steady stream of clients who pass through his busy office. This poster was issued under the Federal theater Project, a New Deal program of the Works Progress Administration that staged plays across the country at low prices. Its flat, bold colors are typical of the silkscreen work produced by the WPA poster units.
