[Broadside]: Sharon, Connecticut. July 4th Home Day 1918 Grand Parade and Pageant... Cornwall Cornet Band... Military Maneuvers and Sham Battle

Millerton, N.Y. Van D. Harvey, Quality Printing, 1918.

Price: $2,500.00

Unbound. Large decorated poster on paper. Measuring 24" x 38". Printed in black and red. Old folds and some wrinkling at the creases, small tears, not quite very good but a remarkable survivor nonetheless. Because of the large size and fairly thin paper, preservation would seem to be unlikely. Aside from the many other listed attractions are floats, fraternal and other societies, ice cream, sandwiches, speeches, sham battles and the like, the poster concludes with this poetic effort:

"Litchfield is the County town,
Canaan is quite sandy,
Cornwall is a rocky town,
But Sharon is the dandy."
