Each 22x14 inches, 56x35 1/2 cm. Artcraft Litho. & Ptg. Co., New York.

"The central figures in this poster closely resemble the tender couple in the 1968 lithograph Memories of Many Nights of Love . . . an example of how Shahn convincingly reused favored images in different contexts. The lettering of the play's title illustrates the integral role Shahn's calligraphy played in many of his compositions" (Prescott p. 136). Includes the poster and a proof before color. Prescott 136.
