Edward Penfield's color poster for *Harper's* for November, printed in New York by Harper & Brothers in 1893, is a small, bold advertisement for the magazine's monthly issue. Penfield became known in the 1890s for flat areas of strong color, simplified figures, and clear lettering, and his work for *Harper's* helped set a standard for magazine posters of the period. The catalog card lists subject tags for child labor and carriages, but the record notes that this information comes from an old caption card and has not been verified against the image itself.
