Description
This richly detailed theatrical poster promotes the stage production of Ben-Hur at the Illinois Theatre in Chicago, commencing September 2nd, featuring matinees on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Produced by Klaw & Erlanger from Lew Wallace's novel and dramatized by Wm. Young, the design showcases a dramatic sailing ship with billowing sails at its center, surrounded by ornate Art Nouveau-inspired borders, a circular moonlit city vignette, and bold decorative typography. On a wall, it reads as a sophisticated piece of Americana theatre history with a rich sage green palette and jewel-toned accents that suit both traditional and eclectic interiors.
