What it is
Penfield's colour lithograph for the November 1894 Harper's, 48 by 34 cm.
Why it matters
It dates from the first years of Penfield's monthly Harper's posters, the run that earned him the title father of the American poster.
What to notice
The outline does the modelling; colour sits inside it in flat fields.
Autumn, announced at the bookstall.
