Theatrical posters in the 1870s shared some interesting traits, as reflected in the collections of the
Library of Congress. Men tended to be represented exerting spectacular force or mastery. Women were very frequently displayed as prostrate supplicants for mercy. There was an economic depression during most of this decade, with effects comparable to the Great Depression of the 1930s. Except that the 1930s one is remembered (because of the films). While the earlier Great Depression of the 1870s is pretty much forgotten.
