Here the draw is a naval battle, the kind of spectacle Lyman H. Howe placed at the center of his traveling program of moving pictures. Howe toured American towns with projected films, often pairing them with live narration in opera houses and halls, and posters like this one were his main way of drawing crowds. War and naval subjects were especially popular in the late 1890s, when audiences were eager to see action from distant conflicts. The poster relies on bold color and dramatic composition to promise a thrill that a moving picture could deliver in a way a painted scene could not.
