01
Artifact Overview
For a few years in the 1890s, a poster craze swept America. Bold, colorful art posters printed for bookstores and newsstands became collector'' items--sometimes more popular than the books and magazines they were designed to promote. Many posters, like this one by Louis Rhead for a Christmas issue of Scribner's Magazine, featured eye-catching illustrations inspired by Art Nouveau trends.
