1888 "Prominent Men and Women of the Day"

c. 1888, Poster Advertising Thos. W. Herringshaw's "Prominent Men and Women of the Day," Chicago, IL, Very Choice Extremely Fine.
The double-sided 22" x 16.25" poster describes the book 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 display item!
