This color poster announces the Nebraska State Fair at Lincoln, with a run listed for September 9 to 16, 1887. Its dates and details come from an old caption card that has not been independently verified, so readers should treat them as the card's claims. In the late 1800s, state fairs were major events for farm families, showcasing livestock, crops, and new machinery, and posters like this one were used to draw exhibitors and visitors from across the state.
