De Rosa, Harry

Prof. Harry De Rosa Presents Count the First. A Living Proof of the Darwin Theory. America's Greatest Monkey Contest. Newport, Kentucky: The Donaldson Litho. Co., ca. 1910 

Color lithograph poster (27 3/4 x 41 7/8 in.; 707 x 1069 mm). Some marginal tears, a few just extending into image, a few lightly stained from adhesive tape residue from early, artless repair. Laid down on linen.

Watched over by a vignette portrait of De Rosa, Count the First is shown performing five skills, including roller skating and bicycling. It is believed that De Rosa's academic title was honorary.
