Here the airborne joke is a compartment for two, where fellow passengers make things lively for an elderly bridegroom on his wedding trip. The poster bills the show as the funniest in the world, a huge pantomimic musical comedy invented and patented by John F. Byrne. Color lithographs like this were a standard way to advertise touring stage productions of the period, and this one was printed by National Printing & Engraving of New York, Chicago and St. Louis. The flying setting reflects the public's fascination with balloons and aerial travel at the time.
