Few magazine posters of the 1890s announce a single issue as plainly as this one, which promotes the August number of *Lippincott's Monthly Magazine*. The periodical came from the J.B. Lippincott Company of Philadelphia, a publishing house known for its literary monthly, and the poster carries the company's 1897 imprint. The color design is credited to J.J. Gould, though the record's caption information is old and unverified, so details of its printing and use should be checked against other sources. Posters like this were a common way for publishers to catch the eye of readers at newsstands and in shop windows.
