A color lithograph advertising a stage production titled *The Great Train Robbery*, credited to Scott Marble, this poster links its drama directly to the railroad. The Strobridge Lithographing Company, which printed it in Cincinnati and New York around 1896, produced large theatrical and circus posters for touring companies across the country. Railroad settings were popular in melodrama of the period, and a train heist offered a dependable draw for audiences who traveled by rail themselves. The poster's tall format and bold color were designed to catch the eye of passersby on busy streets and at depots.
