A color poster promoting the July number of *Lippincott's Monthly Magazine*, published in Philadelphia by J.B. Lippincott & Co. in 1896, is the item shown here. The magazine was a long-running literary monthly that the firm had issued since 1868, and publishers of the period often used posters like this one to announce new issues in shop windows and on billboards. The record credits the design to J.J. Gould, but those attribution and date details come from an old caption card and have not been independently verified.
