The subject here is Fanny Rice, the stage performer, shown in a color lithograph titled *Fanny Rice at the French Ball*. Rice built her reputation on comic and character work in American variety and musical theater, and posters like this one were meant to sell an evening's entertainment to passersby on the street. The print was produced by the National Printing & Engraving Company of Chicago, a firm that made many bright multicolor theater posters for touring productions. Its bold color and large figure show how such posters competed for attention on crowded city walls.
