A blank card with a humorous design stands apart from the dramatic, full-color lithographs that usually fill a theater poster collection. Its record offers little more than that, so its exact maker, date, and show are unknown. Still, small printed cards and handbills were a common way for theaters in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to advertise performances, and comic illustration was a popular tool for catching the eye of passersby. Pieces like this are worth a closer look for their wit and for how theaters aimed entertainment at everyday audiences.
