An exceptional compendium of small poster advertisements produced by the Ault & Wiborg Ink company, most notably those by Will Bradley which appeared in the Inland Printer. Printed according to the highest production quality and using the finest inks the company had to offer, this album served the dual purpose of being a salesman's sample book and highly coveted resource for turn-of-the-century American poster collectors. The book reprints advertisements the company produced from the years 1895-1902. Among the exceptionally designed and colorful images are twenty designed by Will Bradley, and one by Louis Rhead. There are also excellent works by Crittenden, Carolyn Huntington, Binner, among others.
