This color lithograph advertises *The House That Jack Built*, a farce billed as the "latest" work of George H. Broadhurst, and its 1900 date places it at the height of his popularity as a comedy writer. The poster also lists his other successes, including *What Happened to Jones*, *Why Smith Left Home*, and *The Wrong Mr. Wright*, so the author's name is treated as a selling point in its own right. It was printed by the Russell-Morgan Print Company of Cincinnati and New York, a firm that produced many theatrical posters at the turn of the century. Posters like this were pasted on walls and billboards to draw audiences to touring productions, and their bold color and large type were built to be read from a distance.
