Sells lithograph

This one sheet is most likely dated around 1893. It was one of a group made by Strobridge of Cincinnati for the Sells show. The fancy border was used on a group of Sells posters of this period. The colors are softer than those used in recent years. However, the less brilliant tones were very popular on lithos on the late 19th century.
