The title pairs "Hopkins" with the name Bristow Adams, which suggests a player or figure tied to the Johns Hopkins University lacrosse program, though the record does not spell out his role. In the early 1900s lacrosse was a fast-growing college sport, and Hopkins, in Baltimore, was among its strongest programs. This color poster was issued around 1905 by the H.M. Suter Publishing Company of Washington, D.C., a firm that produced many promotional and commemorative prints of the period. Its purpose was to publicize the team and the sport, and it shows how colleges used bold color graphics to build loyalty and attract spectators.
