A love-lorn maiden and an amorous idol take center stage in this black-and-white lithograph advertising Charles H. Yale's *Forever Devils* auction, a production whose subject headings point to Chinese performance and courtship. The poster was created and copyrighted in 1899 by the U.S. Printing Company of Cincinnati and New York and bears the Russell-Morgan Print imprint. Posters like this were meant to be read quickly from a street wall, so the bold figures and single dramatic moment carried the message at a glance.
