Purpose of use |
The image demonstrates the point made alongside it in the text of the article about Coward's image in the 1960s. First, despite the impressive cast of the revival advertised in the theatre poster, Coward's popularity had risen so high that the poster used an Al Hirschfeld caricature of Coward instead of an image of the production or its stars. The illustration captures how Coward's image had changed by the 1960s: he was no longer seen as the smooth 1930s sophisticate, but as the grand old man of the theatre. As The New Statesman wrote in 1964: "Who would have thought the landmarks of the Sixties would include the emergence of Noël Coward as the grand old man of British drama? ...he was... demonstrably the greatest living English playwright."[1] This image gives a unique view of how Coward was viewed by the public and by himself during this part of his career. It is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification for informational and educational purposes. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality for uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original product. |
