Source catalog description
This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.
A soft cover, first edition of the play Antigone en Créole by Félix Morisseau-Leroy. The front cover is white and features [F. MORISSEAU-LEROY] in uppercase green letters at the top left-hand corner. The name of the play [ANTIGONE] is printed just below in uppercase red letters, while the [EN CREOLE] occupies the left of the page. The words EN and CREOLE intersect at a 90-degree angle, with EN running horizontally and CREOLE running vertically. The letters of these two words alternate between red and green. There are also two photographs on the front page. The first has a green hue and sits in the middle of the page, slightly to the left. It features a man sitting on a chair and a woman standing to his left and looking directly at the camera. The other photograph is red-hued and depicts what appears to be the same man squeezing a substance into a jar.
