A large color lithograph from about 1892 presents Signorita Galetti and her troupe, billed as the world's greatest performing monkeys. The Courier Lithograph Company of Buffalo, New York, printed it, and the record notes a copyright registration in 1892 under the name Giacomo Galetti, who is also listed as a subject. Trained animal acts drew large crowds in the late nineteenth century, and posters like this one were a main way touring performers announced their arrival in a town. The sheet's size and bold color show how much effort went into catching the eye of passersby.
