The Bray Studios was founded in the early teens by John Randolph Bray. It was a pioneering animation studio that was the first studio to use animation for educational purposes, and to create a series of animations, not just one-offs. The studio produced many popular cartoons during World War I and into the 1920s, and employed top animators of the time, including Max and Dave Fleischer and Paul Terry. 

This exceptionally rare stone lithography poster has only surfaced a couple of times.
