Catalogued as Russell-Morgan Print No. 4103 and titled "Over the fence," this 1899 black-and-white lithograph was issued by the U.S. Printing Co. of Cincinnati and New York. Printers of the period sold ready-made designs like this one to many customers, who added their own show or product names, so the same picture could hang in towns far apart. Its record does not name the production it promoted, but it shows the bold, simple graphics that late nineteenth-century lithographers used to catch the eye of passersby on busy streets.
