This tall, narrow color poster advertises a lecture titled *European and American Gardens* by Frances Benjamin Johnston, the photographer best known for her documentary work on architecture and gardens and for her portraits of presidents and their families. The record dates it to Boston around 1927, though the bracketed, question-marked date signals that it is a estimate from an old caption card rather than a confirmed fact. Posters like this one show how illustrated talks on gardens drew audiences in the 1920s, when interest in historic estates and designed landscapes was growing in the United States.
