An explosion set among rock formations is the scene the caption promises on this 1900 lithograph for C.R. Reno's comedy *Along the Kennebec*, a New England story told for laughs. The Kennebec is a river in Maine, the state named in the poster's subject tags, which also pair a couple with danger. Touring shows of the period relied on color posters like this one to draw audiences, and the Russell-Morgan Print Company of Cincinnati and New York was among the firms producing them.
