This color lithograph advertises the Mascoutah Kennel Club dog show, and its title, "Dogs from both continents," signals that the exhibition drew animals from America and Europe. Chicago held many dog shows in the 1900s, when pedigreed breeding and kennel clubs were growing fast and dog exhibitions drew crowds of wealthy owners and curious spectators. The poster is signed by Geo. Ford Morris, a sporting artist whose work captured the period's fascination with purebred dogs. Posters like this one show how show organizers used bold color and lively drawing to publicize their events.
