New Deal Dance Art (8/10): "The President's Birthday Ball"

Above: A WPA poster, promoting a charity dance, ca. 1936-1939. The description for the poster reads, "Poster for The President Hotel's birthday ball 'so we may dance again' to raise funds in support of the fight to cure infantile paralysis." The poster was created in New York, and the "President Hotel" probably refers to the President Hotel that was in Atlantic City from 1926-1979 (note the words "on the boardwalk").
