The bold title on this color poster, *The Boss Boy*, names a single story as the attraction, set under the masthead of the New York Sunday Journal. The caption card dates it only loosely, to somewhere in the late 1870s or 1880s, and those details are unverified. In those decades, New York weeklies and story papers relied on eye-catching posters like this one to draw readers to serialized fiction at newsstands and along busy streets. The printed colors were meant to catch a passerby's attention from across the street.
