A color poster for the Emerson and Fisher Company, a carriage builder in Cincinnati, Ohio, stands out among the city's trade advertisements of the period. Frank Hazenplug designed it, and Stone & Kimball, a Chicago firm better known for literary publishing, printed it around 1896. Cincinnati was a major carriage-manufacturing center in the late 19th century, and posters like this one show how builders used bold color and striking design to win customers before the automobile transformed the trade. The catalog record gives the firm's name as both Fisher and Fischer, so the spelling is uncertain.
