A holiday promotion rather than a scene, this color poster announces the Baltimore Telegram's Christmas Number for 1893. Many American newspapers of the late nineteenth century issued such special seasonal editions, often with extra illustrations and fiction, and posters like this one helped sell them. The record credits a New York firm, the H.A. Thomas Lithographic Studio, with printing it as a large lithograph, a process well suited to bold color. Because these details come from an unverified caption card, the attribution and date are best treated as provisional.
