Item description from seller

Broadside or poster advertising the 1895 book. 12½" x 18". Illustrated by F. Richard Anderson. Printed in black with a whimsical football illustration on pale green paper. Very good with small chips at the extremities affecting no printing, and a small piece of tape on the reverse (to no purpose). The illustration depicts a man in a fleur-de-lys uniform with a leather nose guard, opposed in the distance by some rather goofy looking football players (some with "Y," "H," "C," and "P" presumably for Yale, Harvard, Columbia, and Princeton or Penn). Anderson was a successful Broadway costume designer, which probably explains the *très sportif* uniform. A poster advertising a very early football book, following Walter Camp's *American Football* (considered the first book on the sport) by four years. Rare. *OCLC* locates one copy of the 36-page book at the University Club in New York City, and no copies of this poster.
