This color lithograph advertises a pair of baseball games between the University of Pennsylvania and Georgetown, played on April 8 and 10 at Georgetown's field. Its designer, John E. Sheridan, signed the work with the "'05" after his name, which likely marks his class year. Printed in 1905 by the Sudwarth company, the poster reflects the college sports posters of the early 1900s, when schools used bold graphics and simple color to promote games to students, alumni and local fans.
