Dated April 19, 1896, this color poster promotes the Boston Sunday Herald and claims the paper features all the news "for the Wheel of Life," a phrase that suggests the paper was pitched to the whole household rather than to a single reader. Its subject tags point to families and newspapers, which fits the period's push by publishers to win the Sunday audience with eye-catching advertising. Posters like this were usually printed in bright color for street display, so the form is worth noticing alongside the message.
