“Andrew Kay Womrath was an American artist who studied in New York, London and Paris. This is his only known poster, showing a woman leafing through some prints while a man admires a vase. She is dressed conventionally enough, while the man, judging by his Van Dyke and floppy cravat, is either an artist or would be bohemian” (Gold, p. 134). The broad appeal of the artwork on display hinted at is reinforced by fact that a February/March tip-on was included in a later version of the poster: Originally slated to run only for the month of January, the popularity of the event demanded a two-month extension (see PAI-XXXI, 634).
