New York World (also known as "New York Sunday World" and "The Sunday World" for the Sunday edition, and "Christmas World" near the Christmas holiday) was a newspaper published in New York City from 1860 until 1931. The paper played a major role in the history of American newspapers, and was a leading national voice of the Democratic Party. From 1883 to 1911 under publisher Joseph Pulitzer (of Pulitzer Prize fame), it became a pioneer in "yellow journalism" (a type of journalism that presents little or no legitimate well-researched news, and it had fallen into disrepute by the 1950s, and was solely used by tabloid newspapers, but has had a major resurgence with the influence of the Internet over the spread of news), capturing readers' attention and pushing its daily circulation to the one-million mark. Many of the top illustrators of the late 1800s worked for this newspaper, including Richard Outcault, who created "The Yellow Kid", one of the first "comic book" stars!
If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is a special poster for the December 29th New Years issue of this famous newspaper. Posters like these were designed to be placed close to the newsstand to advertise the Sunday edition of the New York World, published by Joseph Pulitzer. Well-known artists/illustrators of the day contributed designs to these posters in various styles (Art Nouveau, Turn-of-the-Century) and themes (patriotic, holiday, humorous, etc). The news agent would glue or attach the poster to a board to advertise the paper that he was selling.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had minor wear on the folds. It had a thin strip of paper loss in the top left corner that extended into the "S" of "SUNDAY". Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
