Issued by The Century Co. of New York in 1895, this color lithograph promotes the July number of *The Century*, one of the most widely read illustrated monthlies of the period. Its record tags the subjects as communication and crowds, a pairing that suits a magazine trying to reach a broad public. Charles H. Woodbury, the artist credited on the poster, was a young illustrator who later became known as a painter. Magazine posters like this one, printed in multiple colors, were a common way of drawing attention to new issues on newsstands and in shop windows during the 1890s.
