Advertising sells the advertising in this 1873 color poster, which promotes the Railway Advertising Co. as the cheapest medium in the principal railway stations and on ferry boats. Printed in New York by Donaldson Brothers, the sheet measures about 90 by 134 centimeters, a size suited to a busy station wall. Its pitch reflects how heavily rail terminals and river ferries were traveled in this period, when printed bills were one of the main ways businesses reached crowds. The details come from an old caption card and have not been independently verified.
