The Royal Lilliputians were a troupe of little people who toured American vaudeville and theater houses around the turn of the century, and this 1900 lithograph advertises their show with the promise of "all fun." The poster was printed in black and white by the Russell-Morgan Print Company of Cincinnati and New York, a firm known for the bold, eye-catching sheets that theaters pasted up to draw crowds from the street. Its subject list mentions tramps, cookery and eggs, a reminder that the troupe's comedies leaned on slapstick routines and miniature domestic scenes that played well with family audiences.
