EDWARD PENFIELD (1866-1925) ADLER SUITS & OVERCOATS. 20x53 1/2 inches. Emanuel Loeb, Chicago. Condition B+: repaired tears in margins and image; sharp vertical and horizontal folds. Framed. A rare and wonderful work by Penfield, that is exceptional for both its size and its content. As the art director for Harper's magazine between 1891 and 1900, Penfield designed over 75 images advertising the periodical, each one small enough to hang in a store window. This unusually-sized promotion for a Milwaukee-based men's wear company, incorporates many of the images that Penfield used in his Harper's posters, such as the horse-drawn sleigh and the dapper men and women.
