Bradley was a trained printer and engraver who started his own firm in Springfield, MA in l895. Among other products from books to fine art, he made this print "Narcoti-Cure". Unlike most of his other work, this print was political in nature showing skepticism toward a chemical company propoganda. Bradley's commercial posters reflect his success in using fine art to forward business objectives.
"The tension between the fine art of design and the commercial needs of advertising, between the artist and the client, continues to challenge postermakers."
