Floride

21324 — Near Fine. Original Illustration by S. G. Jarrard. Poster with mounted illustration by S. G. Jarrard.<br /> <br /> Original 1977 event poster created for a community Pow-Wow hosted by the Florida Indian Hobbyist Association held January 28-29 at Indian River Community College Fort Pierce. Printed on heavy yellow card stock with a hand-pasted color illustration 10 × 8.5 in. by S. G. Jarrard giving the poster the distinctive layered cut-and-assemble construction typical of grassroots cultural events of the 1970s. Poster dimensions: approx. 22.25 × 14 inches.<br /> <br /> The mounted illustration shows minor fraying along the left margin with slight glue transparency otherwise the piece remains clean bright and well preserved. A visually striking survival from a period when Florida community festivals frequently blended folk performance reenactment traditions and regional craft aesthetics. A scarce example of 1970s Florida folk-Americana and cultural-reenactment ephemera.<br /> While representing a hobbyist non-Indigenous organization the poster documents mid-century approaches to Native-inspired performance community gatherings and regional cultural expression.<br /> <br /> This poster belongs to the wider tradition of Florida folk-Americana documenting how local groups interpreted and staged cultural events during the mid-to-late 20th century. Material from these small-run productions rarely survives especially with original paste-on artwork intact.<br /> <br /> Iconography Note: Contains imagery and terminology reflective of 1970s hobbyist interpretations of Native American culture. Presented here as a historical artifact of its era valued for its documentary insight not as an endorsement of outdated representations.<br /> <br /> Subjects: Folk Americana; Florida regional ephemera; Community arts posters; 1970s cultural reenactment; Handmade / paste-up poster design.
