What it is
J. C. Leyendecker's colour poster for the September 1896 Inland Printer; 43 by 27 cm.
Why it matters
The Inland Printer was a Chicago trade journal founded in 1883. From 1894, encouraged by Will Bradley, it changed its cover with every issue, the first American magazine to do so, and it published Leyendecker's early work.
What to notice
This is Leyendecker at twenty-two, decades before his Saturday Evening Post covers.
