About the Item
1895 *New York Sunday World* Poster by J.E. Scotson-Clark - Bold & Rare Print
Description: This original 1895 advertising poster for *The New York Sunday World*, illustrated by renowned artist J.E. Scotson-Clark, captures the energy and sensationalism of the era's "yellow journalism." Featuring a bold, dynamic image of a woman kicking a football, this vintage print highlights exciting headlines such as "New York Women Who Gamble in Wall Street" and "An Actual Telephone to the Moon." A rare and striking piece of early newspaper advertising history, perfect for collectors of vintage ephemera, sports memorabilia, or historical Americana.
The artist's name appears to be Scotson-Clark. The signature in the image reads J. E. Scotson-Clark. He was an illustrator known for creating lively and bold advertisements and satirical illustrations in the early 20th century. Scotson-Clark’s work often included humor and dynamic compositions, making him a popular artist for publications like The New York Sunday World.
The style and content of the poster align with the late 19th-century trends in newspaper advertising. In fact, The New York Sunday World was known for its sensational and eye-catching headlines during this period, and by the 1890s, newspapers were using more illustrated posters like this one to attract readers. The topics mentioned, such as speculative headlines like "An Actual Telephone to the Moon" and "New York Women Who Gamble in Wall Street," reflect the sensationalist journalism that was prominent during the time of "yellow journalism," which peaked in the late 19th century.
The poster promotes the upcoming Sunday edition of The New York Sunday World, highlighting several sensational topics that would likely capture public interest. These include:
New York women gambling in Wall Street,
An "actual telephone to the moon," (which was likely a fictional or imaginative topic),
Why American girls crave titles (possibly referring to social status),
Winter amusements of the "swell" bicycle clubs, and
Oddities about the "strangest king in the world."
The aim of the poster was to entice readers with its colorful imagery and intriguing headlines, reflecting the sensational and often playful tone of newspapers from this era.

Background information on the history of school wall charts:
The idea to upgrade every day school life by using pictures was supported in the late 18th century by Johann Bernhard Basedow. In 1774 he published a four-volume book "Elementarwerk" which combined pictures, text and information with merely hundred copperplates. Modern printing methods enabled the spread from rich private schools to rural grade schools. From 1820-1836 the oldest mentioned series of wall charts were published with the range of six booklets including 63 large sized charts...
