This is the only poster in the series not by Courier. It was printed by Strobridge in 1912. Again, the color slides have dramatically faded. In the original, the title is a vivid red, the shield behind the "1200 character" phrase as well as the dancers in the front center are green, and overall a considerably less yellow and washed-out feel. Nevertheless, it shows the more-straightforward artwork of Strobridge in comparison to the more appealing and artistic flourishes of Courier.
