This color poster advertises the November issue of *Lippincott's Monthly Magazine* for 1895, a Philadelphia periodical that had been publishing fiction, essays, and commentary since the late 1860s. It was designed by William L. Carqueville, whose name is recorded here with dates of 1871 to 1946. In the 1890s, American publishers increasingly used large lithographed posters like this one to draw attention to magazine issues on city streets and in shop windows, when color printing had become cheaper and more widely available. The caption card's subject note, "Women," suggests how the issue was marketed to readers, though that detail comes from an unverified record.
