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 collectors' items--sometimes more popular than the books and magazines they were designed to promote. Many posters, like this one by Edward Penfield for an issue of Harper's New Monthly Magazine, featured eye-catching illustrations inspired by Art Nouveau trends.
