Summary edit

Description
English: Billboard in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, advertising a football game between the Duquesne Country & Athletic Club and the University of Cincinnati on October 19, 1895. Made by G. G. O'Brien company of Pittsburgh. Accompanying text from source (p. 62):

Here is a board on which we see a well-painted group of athletic looking young men struggling over a football. It is enough to command attention in these days when sports are so universally attractive, and no lover of the game will fail to read the announcement of the match which is made by the Duquesne Country and Athletic Club. The black diamond with the red letter "D" are the club emblems. The ribbons of black and red are the club colors. The left hand margin is drab at the top and gray at the side, while the background of the scrollage is dark blue at the upper corner, fading into a light blue, and gradually blending into the sky. The lettering is in brown.
