Cats and reading material share this poster, which advertises *The Chap-Book*, a small literary periodical published in Chicago by Stone & Kimball. The magazine belonged to the wave of slim "little magazines" that appeared in the United States in the 1890s, and its covers and advertising were known for decorative, modern design. The poster is credited to J.C. Leyendecker, who was still a young artist in Chicago at the time and later became famous for his magazine covers and advertising illustrations. The record dates it only to the 1890s, so the exact year is uncertain.
