Then you die together" is the line printed beneath this 1900 color lithograph advertising *Lost in the Desert*, a stage melodrama billed as "the sensational event of the year." The poster was issued by The Seer Print of New York and credits Owen Davis (1874-1956), who wrote a long run of popular melodramas for the stage and later won the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1923 for *Icebound*. Posters like this one were meant to draw audiences to touring productions at local theaters, so their bold type and dramatic scenes promised thrills in the manner of the period.
