Here a Chicago newspaper advertises its own debut with a color lithograph, and the promise at its center is a series of colored frontispieces by Will H. Bradley. Bradley was one of the most prominent American graphic designers of the mid-1890s, working in Chicago and drawing on the flat shapes, decorative lettering, and stylized figures of the European poster movement. Posters like this one were meant to be pasted on walls and billboards to catch the eye of passersby, so the design had to make a new publication look fashionable and worth buying. The piece shows how closely newspaper promotion and graphic art were connected in the 1890s.
