The Christmas issue of *Scribner's*, promoted in this color poster, promises "stories and pictures for all readers," a pitch typical of the magazine's holiday advertising. Edward Penfield, who worked into the early twentieth century, was among the American illustrators who turned magazine posters into bold, flat-color graphic art meant to be read quickly from the street. The catalog's subject terms point to Dutch imagery, including wooden shoes and tobacco, which suggests a Netherlands motif. The date in the record is an unverified estimate, so the poster's exact year remains uncertain.
