Hood's Sarsaparilla was one of the best-known patent medicines of the late nineteenth century, and this 1894 color poster carries the brand's familiar slogan, "Always on Top," in its title. The advertisement belongs to a period when proprietary tonics were marketed heavily through large lithographed posters like this one, which were pasted on walls, fences and storefronts. Its size, roughly 102 by 73 centimeters, reflects the scale that printers used to catch the eye of passersby. The record's notes are unverified and come from an old caption card, so details of its printer and original placement are not confirmed here.
