The title promises "dogs from both continents," and this 1901 color lithograph advertises a Mascoutah Kennel Club show in Chicago, a city where dog shows drew large crowds in the early 1900s. Kennel clubs of that era competed for entries from breeders in Europe and across America, so the poster's boast was a selling point. The design carries the name Geo. Ford Morris, and posters like this were printed in quantity to publicize events to city crowds. Its bold multicolor printing shows how commercial lithography had matured by the turn of the century.
