A color poster promoting the special features of the *Philadelphia Sunday Press* for December 1, 1895, it puts a newspaper carrier at the center of the sales pitch. Its printer, H. I. Ireland of Philadelphia, produced many advertising posters in the 1890s, when illustrated color lithography had become a common way for city papers to win readers on the street. Posters like this one often lean on the carrier and newsboy figures who delivered the paper, which makes it a useful record of how Sunday editions were marketed in the period.
