This color lithograph advertises a Chicago Kennel Club dog show, and its record ties it to the early 1900s, when Chicago was one of the Midwest's busiest centers for organized dog exhibitions. The poster was printed by George Ford Morris, a sporting artist known for dog and horse subjects, and its combination of lithography and letterpress reflects how commercial printing worked at the time. Dog shows had grown popular since the American Kennel Club was founded in 1884, and posters like this one helped draw crowds to the shows and promoted the breeders and clubs behind them.
