1939 vintage Lumitone photoprint postcard. The Union Theater, designed by Modernist architect Michael Hare, opened in 1939 and quickly became a cultural landmark at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Its inaugural ceremonies featured a performance of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. Over the years, it has hosted many notable figures, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Martin Luther King Jr., and Frank Lloyd Wright. The theater is celebrated for its excellent acoustics and has been a venue for a wide range of performances, from classical music to contemporary dance.

Lumitone Photoprint refers to a type of photographic print produced by the Lumitone Press Photo-Print company, which was active from the 1910s to the 1930s. These prints were known for their high-quality images and were commonly used for postcards and other printed materials during that era. They often depicted architectural landmarks, cityscapes, and everyday scenes from the early 20th century, making them highly valued by collectors today.

This would look great framed or make a nice addition to any collection.
