That is the picture I was referring to....Thanks John for posting the link to it.
If you examine the top border of this PIEDMONT cigarette pack sheet, it has been hand cut. The cigarette packs along that edge of
this sheet are cut short approx. 2 inches.
I conclude that this sheet was 19 inches wide, based on an original cardboard print of a PIEDMONT advertising poster on display at
an Antique shop in Paradise, Pennsylvania (that I saw several years ago).
This poster's dimensions were exactly 19 inches x 22 inches (it was a factory cut piece). Unfortunately, it had been sold, otherwise
I would have bought it.
Furthermore, I have seen some original American Lithographic colorful lithographic advertising posters (non-sports) of varying sizes.
Invariably, a common aspect of these posters is a dimension that is 19 inches.
