This color poster advertises the June issue of *Harper's*, the monthly magazine, and was designed by Edward Penfield in 1896. Penfield was one of the leading American poster artists of the 1890s, when magazine publishers commissioned bold, simplified designs to catch the eye on city streets and in shop windows. His *Harper's* posters, made for issue after issue, show how the period's poster craze turned commercial advertising into a form of graphic art. The record notes that its data comes from an older caption card and has not been fully verified, so details should be checked against other sources.
