56 x 66 in. cotton canvas banner with the seal of the State of Massachusetts painted on each side (toning and occasional spotting to canvas, folds). The banner includes a cotton hoist with 4 metal grommets, indicating that it was likely made to be flown on a pole for a political rally or celebration. The style and quality of the painting suggests that this may have been done by someone who had experience in painting theatrical sets.

together with hand-colored lithograph by H.J. Roudy & Co., designed by W. Brotherhead, depicting New York City for the Centennial.
Sight 10 3/8 x 8 1/4 inches.
