Issued in New York in 1894, this color poster advertises the Thanksgiving edition of *Harper's Bazaar*, the weekly magazine that Harper & Brothers aimed at women readers. Louis J. Rhead, an English-born illustrator working in America at the time, designed it during the decade when color posters were becoming a common part of city street life. Pieces like this one show American publishers borrowing the bold flat color and graphic simplicity of European poster art to catch the eye of passersby.
