31-3/8 x 15-7/8" (28 x 12.75" visible)

Beautiful, very early paper lithographed roll-down sign w/ original metal strips at top and bottom for J. M. Laymon Co.'s "Solace" brand tobacco w/ lithography by Donaldson Bros. (which printed from 1872-1893). Clean and excellent appearance (displays as a strong C. 8.5++), although close examination will show some faint, barely noticeable scratching in very outer left background area (mentioned for accuracy, not at all offensive or detracting). Beautifully framed.
