The dogs are the real subject here. The poster advertises Meehan's Canines and puts its "celebrated leaping hounds" front and center. Animal acts were a staple of circuses, vaudeville, and arena shows well into the twentieth century, and their posters typically leaned on bold lettering and a clear image to catch passersby. The design is credited to Alphonso Iannelli, a Chicago artist known for streamlined graphic work rooted in Art Deco and modernist ideas. The record dates the poster to about 1970, which places it late in a format that was losing ground to television.
