Printed in color and nearly 2 meters tall, this 1897 poster advertises Royal Baking Powder, a leavening product sold to home cooks at a time when baking at home still required careful measuring and reliable ingredients. The imprint credits Strobridge & Co., a Cincinnati lithography firm that produced advertising for clients in New York, showing how large-format color printing had become a national business by the late 1890s. Its scale suggests it was meant for shop windows or street walls, where passersby could see it from a distance. The caption data on this record is unverified, so the printer and date are the most reliable details to rely on.
