{"product_id":"will-roger-elaine-havelock-poster-1","title":"Will Roger by Elaine Havelock","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 1968 silkscreen poster by Elaine Havelock, published by Royal Screen Craft Inc. of Los Angeles, exemplifies the late 1960s phenomenon of reinterpreting American folk heroes through contemporary graphic design idioms. The portrait of William Penn Adair Rogers (1879-1935) employs a visual vocabulary that synthesizes folk art traditions with psychedelic era aesthetics, creating a work that functioned both as decorative object and cultural statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe composition utilizes a faux wood-grain frame device, rendered in flat brown tones with hand-drawn grain lines, surrounded by a border of alternating red, white, and blue circles. This patriotic color scheme reinforces Rogers' status as an American icon while the folk art treatment connects him to vernacular visual traditions. Rogers is depicted in his characteristic casual attire: checkered shirt, informal hat, and the lasso that was central to his vaudeville and Ziegfeld Follies performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoyal Screen Craft was among several Los Angeles-based publishers who capitalized on the youth market's appetite for affordable decorative prints during this period. Havelock's work for the company represents a commercially accessible variant of the poster art movement, distinct from the underground concert posters of San Francisco but sharing certain stylistic affinities with that movement's embrace of bold color and decorative pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28.25\" x 20.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elaine Havelock\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
