This color poster promotes the special features of the *Philadelphia Sunday Press* for Sunday, January 12, 1896, a single edition singled out for readers. Sunday papers in the 1890s were major commercial events, packed with illustrated supplements, serialized fiction, and feature articles that competed for weekend readers in crowded urban markets. Posters like this one, printed in color by a Philadelphia firm, were a common way to advertise these editions on streets and in shop windows. The bold color and promotional wording show how newspapers used the new techniques of commercial lithography to sell themselves.
