Unlike the baseball images this board is known for, this November poster turns to the football field, pairing Yale and Harvard in one of the earliest and most closely watched rivalries in American college sport. The rivalry dates to 1875, and by the 1890s its games drew large crowds and wide newspaper coverage. Harper's, a leading illustrated weekly of the period, used posters and graphics like this to promote the season's big matchups. The piece is a useful look at how college football was packaged for a national audience before the modern game took shape.
