Titled "The Echo" with the line "For sale here," this 1896 color poster by John Sloan is a sales advertisement rather than a pure work of art, and its wording suggests it was meant to direct buyers to a particular shop or product. Sloan was then a young Philadelphia illustrator who drew for newspapers and magazines, and in the 1890s color posters like this one were a growing form of street advertising, influenced by French poster design. The library's record notes that its details come from an older caption card and have not been independently verified, so the date and purpose should be read with that in mind.
