Magnificent tribute to 19th century lithography is this advertising poster for this endearing card set. Poster enlists images of the entire set of the cards themselves (N32 in the American Card Catalogue) with horseshoe in the center with horse head that would have made Vito Corleone proud. Brilliant border has framed all of these amazing graphics in beautiful gold leaf. This quality of printing that cannot be replicated even with today’s technology. Bar at top in metal and with a small tear at the top o/w excellent condition. Brilliantly framed, the piece itself is about 24x27” and overall 35x23”. One for the record books.
