Princeton, New Jersey, is the subject here, with the university's campus identified as the focus of this color lithograph poster from about 1907. The board groups it under Thanksgiving, which fits the period: the annual Thanksgiving Day football game against Yale drew large crowds and made the holiday a fixture of college life at the time. Charles W. Beck is credited as the artist, and the poster belongs to a wider run of pictorial prints that promoted American towns and institutions to travelers and students.
