A January 1895 promotional poster for *Lippincott's Magazine*, the Philadelphia monthly, is set apart in this group of book and magazine pieces by its full color printing, which was a lively selling tool for magazines of the period. William L. Carqueville, who lived from 1871 to 1946, created the design. Posters like this were meant to catch the eye of readers on streets, in shop windows, and at newsstands. The record comes from an old caption card and has not been independently verified, so the attribution and date should be read as provisional.
