Belle Archer, the actress who died in 1900, is the name at the top of this poster for *Jess of the Bar Z*, and the scene shows the moment of the title character's arrival at the ranch, with horses and cowboys gathered around. The record places the story in New Mexico, and the cowboy-and-ranch setting reflects the appetite for Western plays on American stages around the turn of the century. Printed as a black-and-white lithograph by the Russell-Morgan Print Company of Cincinnati and New York, the poster was meant to draw touring audiences with its action and its comic reunion scene.
