The poster's headline, "A Pre-Raphaelite collection," marks it as an advertisement for a specific exhibition at the Goupil Gallery, a London commercial space that showed contemporary and recent British painting. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, founded in 1848 by Rossetti, Millais, and Holman Hunt, had by the late 1890s become a fashionable subject for collectors and dealers. The color lithograph was printed by J.S. Virtue & Co. in London in 1897. The artist signed only with a monogram, "GR.," which the record does not resolve into a name.
