Cleveland, Ohio: Issued by Nedeljkovich, Brashich, and Kuharich/The International Pub. Co., 1911. Off-set lithographed color poster. 19 5/8 x 15 7/8 in. (498 x 403 mm). Scattered soiling and light wear along edges; small stains in top right and center left. In frame, 23 x 19 1/8 in. (584 x 486 mm).
