Heart of the Klondike," with its banner line "The Land of Promise," sells a stage show by pointing to the gold fields of the Yukon, the region that drew tens of thousands of prospectors after 1896. Posters like this one were common in the boomtowns of the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, where touring companies performed for miners, merchants and new arrivals eager for entertainment. The poster's promise of a golden land speaks to the hopes that carried so many people north, even as many of them found hardship rather than fortune.
