Nathaniel C. Goodwin, the stage comedian known as N.C. Goodwin, is the subject of this 1889 black-and-white lithograph, a theater poster that puts a studio portrait at its center. The poster was printed by the Strobridge Lithographing Company, which worked from both Cincinnati and New York, and it reproduces a photograph by Napoleon Sarony, the New York photographer whose celebrity portraits were widely sold and copied. Posters like this were pasted on city walls and storefronts to draw audiences to a performance, so the image served as both advertisement and a record of how a stage star's likeness was presented to the public.
