This color poster advertises a special Easter Sunday edition of the Boston Herald, so it is a piece of newspaper promotion rather than a news photograph. The record dates it only to the 1890s ("[189-?]"), a period when American papers used large, colorful lithographed posters to catch the eye of street buyers. The Herald was an established Boston daily by then, and holiday editions like this one were a way to sell extra copies on a busy morning. The poster's bright colors stand out against the black-and-white views of the city that surround it on the gallery board.
