The caption on this poster, a line about standing by the bell rope and pulling "like fury" when the signal comes, points to the bell-rope scene that drew audiences to David Belasco's Civil War melodrama. The play, set in Maryland, relied on tense, staged set pieces like this one, and the poster is built to tease that moment. The sheet was printed by the Strobridge Litho Co. of Cincinnati and New York, a firm known for large, bold color lithographs that advertised touring and Broadway productions across the country.
