Image of nine fashionable young women on a beach in dresses and wearing flowers in their hats and, in place of horses, leading a carriage carrying three men and two women with colorful ribbons; the poster advertises the musical comedy "The Dazzler" written by Thomas Eddison and managed by John F. Cosgrove and Alexander L. Grant. Probable date based on show history; the show was first performed in the early 1890s and toured into the early 1900s. "W J Morgan & Co. / 3203. / Lith. Cleveland, O."--text, bottom right of image.
