The lithograph advertises the Royal Lilliputians as "a gigantic organization" of little people, dwarfs and giants, a touring company whose tagline plays on the contrast between small performers and the word "gigantic." Printed in 1900 by the U.S. Printing Co. for Russell-Morgan of Cincinnati and New York, it shows carts, wagons and a policeman, and its catalog subjects list African American and Irish portrayals alongside the comedies. Troupes like this were a familiar part of American variety and theater entertainment at the turn of the century, and the poster reflects how comic acts of the period often relied on caricature and novelty.
