Printed to promote the Thanksgiving number of *The Chap-Book*, a Chicago literary periodical, this color poster ties a seasonal holiday to the magazine's identity. Its designer, Will H. Bradley, was a leading American practitioner of Art Nouveau, drawing on English and Japanese graphic models to produce flat color and bold, simplified forms. The record lists women and food as its subjects, a pairing that reflects how periodicals of the 1890s often used domestic scenes to sell seasonal issues. Bradley's work for *The Chap-Book* helped establish the American poster as a serious art form.
