Edward Penfield's poster for *Collier's* Thanksgiving Number is a piece of the magazine's holiday promotion, made to draw attention to a special seasonal issue. Penfield was among the leading American poster artists of the 1890s, when the color lithographed poster became a popular art form on city streets. His work relied on flat areas of bold color, simple shapes and clear lettering that could be read from across a street. Holiday issues like this one were a key way magazines sold copies at the end of the year.
