Description
A stylized vintage advertising illustration depicts a character dressed in an ornate costume with a broad-brimmed hat and a boldly colored robe. The words "It...Satisfaction...Gives QUEEN CITY INK" suggest the image is part of an ink advertisement, with separate labels for different colors used in the design, such as "BROWN, 348" and "BLUE, 603." Dated 1905 and attributed to "H.D. Book. 40," this piece showcases early 20th-century graphic design and marketing techniques.
