Issued as an advertisement for Harper's Bazaar, this 1894 color poster ties the holiday to the New York weekly that Harper & Brothers published for women readers. Louis J. Rhead, an English-born illustrator who settled in America and became one of the decade's leading poster artists, designed it during a period when advertising posters were gaining recognition as an art form. The record pairs the subject of Thanksgiving Day with advertising, a combination that shows how publishers linked their magazines to the seasonal rhythms of home life and holiday shopping.
