Three women in close-fitting tights and plumed headdresses fill this colored lithograph, printed in Buffalo, New York, by the Courier Litho. Co. around 1899. The record names no performers, and the title was devised by the cataloguer, so the poster's original purpose is left to inference. Its costumes point toward the stage, since tights and feathers were standard for the revues and variety shows of the period, and printed posters were a common way to advertise them. Works like this also show how commercial printers in smaller American cities produced bold, multicolor work in the late 1890s.
