Edward Penfield's 1897 poster for Harper's magazine stands out for its flat, confident color and its tone of easy summer leisure, which suits a June issue. The record's caption tracings point to a scene of women, dogs and chairs, a domestic and genteel picture that fits the magazine's readership of the period. Penfield was one of the leading American poster designers of the 1890s, and his work for periodicals helped establish the poster as a form of commercial art. The record itself is marked as unverified, so the details of the composition are best taken from the image itself.
