The peacock is the defining element here, its eyespots and sweeping plumage arranged as a decorative pattern. The poster advertises *Bradley: His Book*, a volume of the designer Will H. Bradley's own work, printed in 1896 by the Wayside Press in Springfield, Massachusetts. Bradley was a leading American poster artist of the 1890s, drawing on Art Nouveau and Japanese prints to create bold, flat graphics. Peacock feathers were a favorite motif of the period, valued for their rhythmic curves and eye-like markings.
