EDWARD PENFIELD HARPER'S MAY. 1894.
161/2x131/2 inches.
Condition A-: vertical and horizontal folds; minor discoloration in margins. Paper.
Feeding birds in a nest in a barren tree (with a single bloom), a woman postpones reading Harper's to relish the simple joys of spring. "The type of ideal young woman he created is first cousin to the Gibson girl ... unmistakably upper class, aloof, and slightly bored." The American Poster, p. 11. Kiehl, 149, DFP I 392.
