The Mascoutah Kennel Club, based in a small Illinois town near St. Louis, is the organization behind this 1901 poster, which advertises a show with "dogs from both continents." That phrase suggests the event drew entries from Europe as well as North America, a selling point for American shows of the era. The poster was drawn by George Ford Morris, whose work often covered sporting and animal subjects. It reflects the growing popularity of dog shows in the late 1800s, when breed clubs and exhibitions were spreading across the country.
