Scribners March by Wildhack Robert (1 results)

Framed. Condition: Fine. A most evocative early 20th century promotional poster issued by Scribner's with its cover art for the March 1907 issue of its monthly magazine. Capturing a long gone era when the automobile was still a novelty, with a well-dressed lady and her driver, probably love interest but possibly a paid chauffeur, wearing thick goggles, a thing before substantial windshields and when driving an automobile, whatever the circumstance, could be regarded as sport. The poster art reminds us of Belle Epoque French poster art, and the printing is of a quality that one could at first glance think the poster was actual watercolor. With its simple wood frame, 60 by 40.5 cm. Visible, 57 by 38 cm. This is the original 1907 poster, not a reprint. Minor spots of soiling. We have not examined the poster outside its frame.
