This color poster is a street-level sales pitch for a single Sunday edition of the *New York Times*, dated November 24, 1895, a date that falls on a Sunday. Sunday papers were large, heavily illustrated editions, and publishers used bold posters like this one to draw buyers at newsstands and busy corners. The printer, Gillin Printing Co., is listed as a New York firm, though the record notes that its data comes from an old caption card and has not been verified. The poster is a reminder of how newspapers in the 1890s competed for readers through eye-catching advertising, before the paper came under the ownership of Adolph Ochs in 1896.
