This large color poster, measuring 64 by 98 centimeters, advertises the Kansas State Fair and is dated 1871 in its record, though the title gives a span of 1862 to 1871 that points to the fair's early years. Agricultural societies in that period used posters like this to draw farmers, stock breeders and townspeople to fairgrounds where livestock, crops and farm machinery were judged and displayed. The catalog's details come from an old caption card and have not been verified, so the exact year and event are worth reading with some caution.
