Edward Penfield, 1897 · sourced from the Library of Congress.
About the artist
Edward Penfield’s monthly Harper’s covers established the American poster style of the 1890s — confident, elegantly drawn, focused on a single figure caught in a moment of everyday life. He was the most successful American poster artist of his time.
About this poster
This is a high-resolution digital restoration of Harper’s May, originally created in 1897. The file you download has been carefully cleaned, color-balanced, and prepared for modern home printing while preserving the textures and color of the original chromolithograph.
Print & display
This poster is particularly well suited for boutique hotel and cocktail bars and other atmosphere-driven hospitality interiors where Belle Époque visual language is exactly right.
Best suited for 8×10 inches at 300 DPI sharpness. 11×14 and 16×20 are available but with some softening — fine for venue wall art viewed from across a room.
