Three scenes show the same woman in sequence: dancing in the first two, then performing acrobatics in the third, a layout that let one sheet suggest a whole evening's entertainment. The color lithograph dates to 1898, when it was created and copyrighted by the U.S. Printing Co. of Cincinnati and is also credited to Russell-Morgan Print. Cincinnati was a major American center for lithographic poster printing in the late nineteenth century, when colorful posters were a main way touring variety performers were advertised. The title was devised by cataloguers, so the performer's name does not appear in the record.
