This poster promotes Prof. E.K. Crocker's educated horses, ponies, donkeys and mules, and its boldest claim, "The greatest barrel act ever seen," points to the stunt that drew crowds to traveling animal shows. Printed in color in 1899 by The Courier Litho. Co. of Buffalo, New York, it reflects a period when trained-animal acts toured American towns and relied on large, eye-catching lithographs to announce their arrival. The artist, Davis Owen, worked in the decades when such posters were a main form of commercial advertising. Its tall format and bright color show how showmen competed for attention on street walls.
