Titled simply "Columbia" and signed by John E. Sheridan, this color poster ties a New York campus to a single image, with the record naming Columbia University students as its subject. It was printed by the Deutz Litho. Co. in New York around 1902, a period when color lithography was a booming trade for advertising. The copyright is credited to the art department of Barron G. Collier, a firm known for streetcar advertising. The sports setting on the gallery board fits the college's athletic culture of the era, when football and rowing drew large crowds in the city.
