Lippincott's Magazine, the Philadelphia monthly published by J.B. Lippincott Company, is the subject of this color poster, which promotes its April 1897 issue. J.J. Gould is credited with the design. The piece reflects the American poster boom of the 1890s, when publishers and manufacturers commissioned large color lithographs for city streets and shop windows. Lippincott's, founded in 1868, was known for fiction and essays, and its posters show how publishers tried to reach readers outside the parlor. The record is marked as containing unverified data, so the attribution and date should be read with that caution.
