ETHEL REED (1876-?) BEHIND THE ARRAS / BY BLISS CARMAN. 1895. 28x19 1/2 inches, 71x49 1/2 cm. Armstrong & Co. Lith., Boston. Condition B+: minor losses at edges; tears and creases in margins; offsetting in upper image. Hinged to mat at top edge. Paper. "Ethel Reed's posters have a distinctly feminine character. There is a happy balance between the abstract elements of the pattern and representational details of the design. Though she seems to have been thoroughly conversant with the work of Beardsley and the British illustrators, she remained independent of their influence" (The American Poster pp. 18-19).
