Belle of 14th Street Promotions
(Above: Al Hirschfeld drew this charicature of Streisand as the Belle of 14th Street—herself!)
Artist Tim Lewis created a series of art nouveau posters to advertise Barbra's television special. Two versions are above. A third, "skinny poster" was created as well (see below). Lewis' graphic of Streisand's face was utilized on the Luchow's menu (Luchow's was located on 14th Street in New York, and was a favorite eating place of the old-time Vaudeville stars.)
