J.K. Emmet's "New Fritz" by Thomas Henry Atwell in the 1870's

Emmet, Joseph K. · n.d.

This black and white print depicts a man, Joseph K. Emmet, in the center scene giving a child a piggyback ride. Two men and two women look on. In each of the four corners there are bust portraits of Emmet in familiar roles. A banner across the bottom proclaims: “Pronounced by press and public to be the best drama Mr. Emmet has ever appeared in.” The top edge of a handbill is pasted to the bottom. It has been cut off but someone has written on it "Grand" (maybe in pencil?)
