The poster's title, "Miss Art and Miss Litho.," personifies the two crafts of the image itself, pairing fine art with the lithographic process that made color posters affordable to print in quantity. Published in New York in 1896 by Will H. Clemens, it is a color print measuring 49 by 32 centimeters, designed by Elisha Brown Bird. Its date falls during the American poster craze of the 1890s, when color lithography was used to draw attention on city streets and in shop windows. The record's details are unverified, so the poster's exact promotional aim remains uncertain.
