The Trail of '98, Australian Daybill

A woman rises out of the Klondike peaks.

What

An Australian daybill, 15 by 40 inches, printed by the Offset Press Co. of Sydney in 1928 for the MGM gold-rush epic.

Why

The daybill was Australia's own poster size: long and narrow, made for a day's billing outside the picture house.

Notice

Tiny prospectors cross the snow below a figure the size of the mountains.
