1888 Poster “Prominent Men and Women of the Day”
c. 1888, Poster Advertising Thos. W. Herringshaw’s “Prominent Men and Women of the Day,” Chicago, IL., Choice Extremely Fine.
This large 22” x 16.25” double-sided Advertising Poster describes the book “Prominent Men and Women of the Day,” as... “Worth Ten Times Its Price... A Work Of Permanent Value...” The poster works not only as an advertisement for the book but as a help wanted ad for “Agents” to sell the book. “As this Magnificent Volume is the Only Book of its Kind Ever Published in America, Agents will have a Clear Field! It does not contain one uninteresting subject; and it appeals to Every Man, Woman and Child, Rich or Poor, Educated or Uneducated, who, with one accord exclaim - “Just what I want!” The work of the agent is simply to show the canvassing book and take orders!” A wonderful poster with details of all the included individuals and sketches directly from the book. A wonderful item for display.
