Issued by the Philadelphia Sunday Press to promote its special features for December 1, 1895, this color poster puts the newspaper carrier at its center. In the 1890s, Sunday editions had become major sellers, and papers competed hard for readers with bold illustrated advertising. The poster shows how publishers promoted a single issue as well as the paper itself, and the carrier reminds viewers of the delivery networks that got the printed news into Philadelphia homes.
