Stage couples featured on theatrical posters from the Library of Congress. Yesterday saw a group of relatively scarce posters organized around images of leading men. Today's selection represents another fairly untypical template – the leading couple.
More numerous than these by far were posters depicting the leading lady alone, staring out into the world from her isolation and inviting the spectator into an imaginary intimacy with her.
