This color woodcut poster, printed in New York by A.S. Seers in 1881, advertises a production of *East Lynne*, the sensational melodrama drawn from Ellen Wood's 1861 novel. The story follows Lady Isabel Carlyle, who abandons her husband and children after an affair, then returns years later in disguise to watch over them. Its emotional scenes made it one of the most popular stage vehicles of the late nineteenth century, and touring companies kept it in circulation for decades. The record notes that pieces of this poster are missing, so some of its billing and text is incomplete.
