EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a vintage theatre programme for the renowned stage production, "Ballad for Bimshire" written by Irving Burgie. The programme was created in 1963 and was performed at the esteemed Mayfair Theatre in New York City. The design of the programme is simple yet elegant, with white background and bold black lettering that catches the eye. The image features two individuals on either side of the programme. On the left stands a distinguished man wearing a hat, shirt with a neck scarf, and pants. His attire exudes sophistication and adds an air of mystery to his character. On the right side stands an elegant woman donning a blouse and skirt while gracefully carrying a basket atop her head, showcasing her cultural heritage. "Ballad for Bimshire" holds great significance as it represents African American arts during the 1960s era. This musical theatre production not only entertained audiences but also served as an important platform to celebrate black history and cultural heritage. Displayed proudly at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this theatre programme reflects its historical value as part of America's rich artistic legacy. With ink on paper, it serves as both ephemera from that time period and graphic design masterpiece. This print captures not only an unknown creator's artwork but also pays tribute to influential figures such as Irving Burgie, Ossie Davis, Raiford Chatman Davis, Lord Burgess (Irving Louis Burgie), who contributed their talents to make "Ballad for Bimshire" an unforgettable experience in United States' theatrical history.
