This poster pairs a homespun line, "To keep gran'pa's memory green," with a sensational headline, "The richest heiress in the world," and sells both under the name of The Sunday Journal. Printed in color in New York in 1896 by the lithographers Liebler & Maass, it belongs to the crowded newspaper promotion of the 1890s, when papers competed fiercely for readers through eye-catching street posters. The floral subject matter reflects the period's taste for sentimental imagery, and the contrast between old-fashioned family feeling and modern tabloid excitement is worth noticing. The Journal was one of the papers at the center of the circulation battles of that decade.
