Puerto Rico Division of Community Education Poster Collection, 1940-1990, Archives Center, National Museum of American History.
Scope and Contents
This Christmas poster focuses on the figure of St. Michael the Archangel, militantly brandishing his sword surrounded by Puerto Rican cultural emblems: traditional musical instruments and the Three Kings. Lacking any text other than the year indicates that this is an artist proof [A/P]. Artists would purposefully produce a small numbers of posters without any message to have a print that focused just on the design. (From exhibition text by Marvette Perez.)
