The October Century poster puts sailing at the center of a magazine advertisement, a choice that suggests the publisher wanted a seasonal, outdoor image to draw attention to the month's issue. The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine was one of the best-known general-interest periodicals in New York in the 1890s, with a reputation for fiction, travel writing and finely reproduced illustrations. By the mid-1890s, color posters had become a common way for publishers to advertise new issues to busy city streets. The poster is a useful record of how magazines pitched their contents to a growing urban readership.
