MAXFIELD PARRISH THE CENTURY. 1897. 20x131/2 inches. Thomas & Wylie. Condition B: losses and restored losses in bottom margin and corners; creases in margins; minor losses in image. Japan. An orange-toned woman is clasping her knees on green grass in front of blue and green trees; lettering in orange, surrounded by a yellow border. Parrish won second prize in the Century's annual poster contest with this entry. He might very well have won first (which went to J.C. Leyendecker) but "entries had been restricted to three colors and Parrish, an avid experimenter with the new halftone process, employed five." (Margolin p 20). Kiehl 134, DFP 317, Weill 126.
