This 1895 color poster promotes the Sunday edition of the New York Times for December 8, a date that fell on a Sunday that year. Its printer, Gillin Printing Co. of New York, was one of several firms producing bold lithographed advertising for newspapers and other businesses in that period, when posters on fences, billboards, and storefronts were a major way to reach city readers. The Times had been published since 1851, and its large Sunday issues were a significant part of its business. The record's date and printer details come from an unverified caption card, so they are worth confirming against other sources.
