This colored print depicts a table with the words "Things that the Deacon swears by" printed on the side of a red tablecloth. The objects on the table include a Bible, a pitcher labeled "Cold Water," and a straw hat. A chair is drawn up to the table. In addition to the title “Deacon Crankett by John Habberton,” the poster contains the additional words “Author of Helen’s Babies” at the top. Across the bottom is a daybill or label containing the date and location of the performance. This one proclaims “Park Theatre / Two Nights Only / Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov. 1 & 2.”
