Edward Penfield's Thanksgiving cover for *Collier's* stands out for its bold, flat shapes and limited palette, the graphic approach that made him one of the best-known poster and magazine artists of the 1890s and early 1900s. Holiday issues like this one were a major feature of American weekly magazines, which often marked seasonal occasions with special covers that drew readers at the newsstand. *Collier's*, founded in 1888, grew into one of the largest general-interest weeklies of its era. Penfield's design shows how commercial illustration of that period could be both decorative and immediately readable from across a crowded shop counter.
