This color lithographic poster takes its wording from the speech of a New York street newsboy, whose phrase "Termorrow yer sells Journals" is rendered in phonetic dialect. Its title alludes to Chimmie Fadden, the street-boy character from Edward W. Townsend's sketches of New York life, which made such dialect familiar to readers in the 1890s. The poster was printed by Leibler & Maass, a New York lithography firm, and its date is only approximate in the record, with the artist's signature illegible. Its playful dialect and bold color make it a useful example of how commercial printers used street speech to sell popular periodicals.
