Promoting the October issue of Scribner's, this color lithograph from about 1907 features dancers rather than the pumpkins and harvest scenes often linked to the season. Charles Scribner's Sons of New York commissioned posters like this during the peak years of American magazine poster design, when bold flat colors were meant to catch the eye on city streets and newsstands. The printed text also advertises two books: Spanish Impressions, written and illustrated by Edward Penfield, and Theodore Roosevelt's Small Country Neighbors.
